All ive heard is spice girls, Beckham, pole dancers, fake rain and children. Sounds quite tacky.

I want to see more brittish history, Alexander Mc Queen, the royal family, old country dancing, possiblely Susan boyal having tea, arctic monkeys, Alan Carr, open top buses, harry potter, British art work, British famers haha, british inventions, throw in some British humour and a big firework display and its perfect.

Wow why didn't they get you to design the opening ceremony? I'm sure Danny Boyle and all the people who worked on it won't have thought of any of those things.

Stupid idiot reporter on BBC 1

"It must be such an honour representing England"

It's the UK FFS

There's nothing wrong with a bit of patriotism.

It doesn't matter. They bid for the Olympics in the United Kingdom, not in England! >.> and during the Opening Ceremony the UK is what's going to be celebrated. It just annoys me <.<

What you heard may be tacky, but it doesn't mean the show will be. You have no idea what's going to be in it, for all you know they may have covered all of that stuff.

Ooh that's what you meant. I thought you meant it as if 'it's the UK, why is it such an honour?. It would be good if they incorporate every aspect of the UK, a bit Scottish, Welsh and Irish culture as well as English.

whoah first event at 9am 2morrorow

It would be an awesome Doctor Who reference if they get David Tenant to light the cauldron

[Pride]

the Muse song sounds so much like Queen. I think it's alright, it serves its purpose.

It probably wouldn't appeal to everyone if it was like another normal Muse single.

This is the Olympics we're talking about. I doubt David Tennant is known outside this country tbh.



In other news.

I'm getting quite excited

[gridlock]

Is there anywhere to stream the opening ceremony other than on iPlayer? It's kind of laggy.

This is what I was referring to, not just a random DW reference.

Have heard from an inside source that the olympic torch will not be lit by a person, but rather by a 'contraption' of sorts, akin to the archer at Barcelona '92.

delete as there is already a thread- did not realise

[Hopple]

Be patient and wait to see it properly before criticising.

Just looked at a few clips of the opening ceremony- how awful is it?!

Beijing was AMAZING! RIO 2016 will be just as GREAT!

The clips of London Opening Ceremony - embarrassing the nation again! Can London do nothing but humiliate the good name of GB?!

[barnetlad]

The clips are a small part and do not do the ceremony justice (I was at one of the rehearsals).
