Danny Boyle risking embarrassing the nation… the opening ceremony thread

Bit like Charlie and the chocolate factory

I loikes it so far.

has leslie garrat been on and raped another song yet???

She tried but was fed into a furnace before she got the chance

Bradleys in hats.

did i miss the hanging?

amazing

This is very, very clever. Loving the forging of the Olympic Rings.

I wonder if he has managed to incorporate the British grumpy slag everything off way into this? Now that would be clever

That’s pretty flipping awesone.

Really impressed with the ‘Olympic rings forged in Britain’ idea

Bet the North Koreans are laughing their cocks off watching this and consequently realising we didn’t mean to insult them….

i Have never watched an opening ceremony before are they all this mixture of dull and WTF?

They always are really.

Apparently its not on US telly.

Much better than expected.

Music’s good too.

Nice work . Facebook timeline of Uk history

Soooooo clever – nice work!

crop rotation in the 14th century was considerably more widespread after….

John

That’s right! I knew it!

Isn’t Bond going to be in it somewhere?

Edit: ahh…

It’s great , loving it

😆 James Bond!

Okay, I’ll backtrack, it did get better, first part was still **** though.

Get in 007 – was that really Queenie?

Pleasantly surprised, bemused, confused. **** me! Now it’s the Queen and James Bond!

Edit: It’s bonkers. 😀

It’s only the **** queen!

007 brilliant

A bit mordor

Commentary Off option was a great idea…

Chuff me its the queen!

No Bond, you’re not allowed to bone the Queen, that’s a lay too far!!!

Is 007 going to snog the Queen?

fair play, the rings were pretty cool

I bloody knew the Queen was gonna do the lighting up!

This is very weird… Now a queen and daniel craig…

Bring on Brian blessed

Really enjoying this – don’t know what to expect next. Much better than some of the formulaic events of past Olympics.

This is a silly bit

Im sorry doom-mongers, but this is the dogs danglies…Bond, The Queen. Awesome.

Gordons Alive??

betty to light the flame!

Oh, how i hope there’s a you-tube clip, an out take where Queenie says ‘why, i’ve been expecting you, Mr Bond’ and then rolls about laughing 🙂

Who predicted Jet packs and the Queen lighting it?

It’s **** brilliant 8)

Danny Boyle – I am loving your work!
