Anyone watching?

[Marf]

Yep. Wish C4 had the no commentary option like the BBC did.

[Mikey G]

Yes, but the sound is awfull

[Nicol@]

The sound is making me want to turn over.

Yep, sounds odd here too

[durbster]

Yep. Can't fault starting with Hawking.

Sound is messed up at the moment though

[Johnny]

Cool. Gandalf.

[poing]

They have had long enough to get the sound sorted, really bugs me when they mess it up like this after all the work.

Apart from the sound, so far so good in an arty farty fashion.

[durbster]

Uh oh - just realised I have no beer left. Might not see this one through...

[Laurel Green]

'Twas the same with the BBC at the start of the ceremony.

Good lighting though!

[davepoth]

Switch over to the audio description on More 4. I'm not sure how having someone tell you exactly what's happening on screen is less intrusive than the regular commentary, but it somehow is.

[Lizardking]

Woohoo no French introductions first!

[Laurel Green]

All together now chaps and chapesses.

Surprised it isn't German first then since the man who started it all at Stoke Mandeville was Dr Ludwig Guttmann.

[Laurel Green]

Please join us after the break?

[Legacywr]

Adverts.. WTF?

[AM04ARO]

Adverts do not really work although I guess they are paying for the broadcast.

[RosscoPCole]

Grrrrr adverts!

[Pete102]

Love those jumping astras

[jaybirduk]

Terrible choice of Umbrella by Rhianna remix, sounded like it was being played over itself out of phase
