The first part, prior to the interminable parade of the athletes was by turns, epic, moving and gleefully subversive. It was kind of obvious what the copper bowls/petals were for, but the Olympic flame thingy wasn't quite what I was expecting. Fortunately, by the time Macca came on, I was down the pub, so the sound was turned down.
Apart from the fact that Team GB were dressed as chavs on holiday in "Shagaluf" it was pretty good.
