Rumour has it that the whole show is magnificent with stirring Brit music, music such as Elgar's Nimrod and other classics that represent us - and remember there are four acts in just over an hour's show before the athletes parade and all the Olympic sign-on palaver......I think it is unfair to start criticising until it is over but then I would say it is wrong to start giving away the game now.
It annoys me immensely, esp the BBC, when they start showing major clips of shows or documentaries to entice the viewer - as often these are the best bits that are used. Quite frankly, they ruin the show. Do we really have to pander to the sound-bit-Sandra or Stevie all the time?
Oh and there are a bucket load of fireworks planned - I suspect that metal Kapoor "sculpture" next door may well be "blown up" - My fav Olympic cartoon so far:
