That was rather good, I thought.

I was sitting there criticising the poor co-ordination of the first light show, then we see it's actually drummers!

Of course, the athletes in the middle was as dull as ditch water.

But that ending was something else. Would the UK ever take the risk that the technology (the cables) would fail? I doubt it.

I believe highlights are on mid evening - well worth a look for those at work this afternoonwink

it was rather good wasn't it ... loved the depicting of the chinese alphabet over the generations, then 500 chinese dudes waving from under the "ink blocks"

Always like to see all the nations show thier flag too .. letse me select the underdog to support based on size of team + enthuisiasm waving flag (smallest team + best flag waving gets my cheering)

Absolutely brilliant!
The guy "running" around the lip of the stadium was awesome.
