Sonics2k

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to ask, but does anyone know of any legit sites that will be streaming it?

Maybe the BBC or Channel 4?

I think he is great at his job but how on Earth did he ever look in a mirror and think I would make a great Tele presenter.

Its starting to get exciting, and also abit emotional. Wonder what odds that this will be played/performed at some point considering Danny Boyle's 'Green and Pleasant Land' Theme.

Wonder if it will be a complete unknown to light the torch, say a survivor or family member of someone killed in the Tube bombings.

They are getting mileage out of this Redgrave 'will he won't he' thing....I reckon there'll be a few people doing it, including a local lad/lass....

Nimrod by Elgar

Hande hoche!

The flashy intro reminds me of Eastenders.

Mars Bar

A girl I know from Longford is drumming at this tonight. Can't deny I'm a bit jealous of her to be honest!

Only if you're incapable of seeing past the bling and money....

Mr.Crinklewood

Nice of them to include a Belgian in the opening.

Kurz

Everything looks like it was done on the cheap so far. Including the stadium. Nothing compared to Beijing really.

MayoForSam

This is really awful, cheap and tacky to the extreme. Compared to Beijing it makes London look pathetic.
