London Olympics 2012

[Nexxt]

I loved it so much! What country would let their Queen jump out of a helicopter (even thought it was fake)? And the lights, scenery were amazing! And they managed to put some British humour into aswell, with Mr.Bean!

Amazing!

Disagree on the young people lighting the cauldron and I think Doctor Who should have made an appearance.

Perhaps, but they had to draw a line somewhere I suppose for the sake of keeping time. There was a tardis sound at one point.

Any videos of it? Didn't manage to watch it on Tv.

I wasn't drawn in to begin with, but once it started to kick in with the dance showing the transition through the decades, Mr. Bean, The Artic Monkeys and so on, just... wow. And to top it all off, an outstanding performance by McCartney. Just amazing. Danny Boyle has done our country proud; the whole organization of the show from the clips, featuring individuals to the fireworks was top notch.

Disagree on the young people lighting the cauldron

Why?

Was a a nice opening ceremony, I didnt get the whole OK so were now county of  farmers  and oh look somehow we went from 1600's to 1900, cause obviously Briton didn't truely exist before then I gues. Also that whole Tween thing about the songs of Britain, I like the music, story was crap i've seen better fan factions with more depth, However I loved the Mr.Bean bit, and THAT new guy who plays bond, dont like him Conrey for all time.

Yes all thought Im not a huge fan of Dr.Who other then Bond and a few British Comedians I'd say the Good Doctor is one of the most iconic characters similar to bond IMO.
I also loved the American Broadcasting as the commentators could not leave the Middle East county's alone w/o bringing politics Hell they had something to say about every North African nation execpt Morraco, as they went to commercials when they came out.

Farming is an iconic symbol of British culture.

Britain is an island, not a country.

Uh, what?

Im not a huge fan of Dr.Who other then Bond

Huh? Bond isn't a part of Dr Who.

I thought this part was bloody brilliant! 

[Pandalink]

I think he missed a comma after Who.

I suppose it would've been nice, but like I said for the sake of keeping time they had to not have some things. I can't think of anything they did that was british popular culture that deserved to be there any less than Doctor Who.

Also I think Sherlock Holmes would have been nice.
