I never got round to seeing the Chinese one, and associated such ceremonies with nonsense on stilts

and giant inflatable people.

I was pleasantly surprised and impressed on Friday. The excellent montage of music started with The Jam, Curly. The Jam!

His inclusion of Underground was spectacular.

Clearly the highpoint.

Went on a tad too long for me, began to think he had forgotten about the athletes.

I enjoyed the spectacle....the commentary, not so much!

at least it wasn't as bad as NBC.

NBC cut the 7/7 tribute bit because "it wasn't tailored to an American audience."

They ran a Ryan Seacrest interview with Michael Phelps instead.

At least looking at the comments some of them are pretty pissed off about it.

This is why I love the series 'Newsroom', many a blatant dig at

at the ignorance of many Americans.....probably also why the American critics don't like it
