If what I'm told is correct, I'd suggest we pay particualrly close attention to the very start of the ceremony show.

Ignore this - must be later!

Great start though.

nothing yet!

Better not be the biggest April Fools joke for Bond fans....tense times waiting for 007 but a cracking show for London, I have to say!

Hoping Roger Moore appears and drops Blofeld down that chimney.

isn't the music by David Arnold?

[DamnCoffee]

That was hillariously cheesy.

I thought it had gone wrong at first when the parachuters just vanished...

I'm staying relatively spoiler-free from Skyfall so I have no idea if there's anything to this, but am I the only one who finds it funny that rumor has it Bond will be FALLing from the SKY in his Olympic entrance?

edit - didn't realize it was already going on... guess I'm also staying spoiler-free from the Olympics...

nice Bond segment- ironic they have a segment for the NHS considering the govt are trying to cart it off piece by piece haha

[Vauxhall]

That was extremely special. Brilliant.

[MattofSteel]

That was kind of a letdown, honestly.

Wish there was more of Live stuff....but, worked for me.

I didn't think it was as good as 2008 but it had its moments.

I thought the music was really well done and the big surprise to me was the Queen jumping as well what a laugh and then the Bond music plays like in TSWLM; Good show.

Why did they have two dogs running around Bond in the beginning...?

[TCK]

Oh my god, that was ridiculous.
Tonight, Johnny English was way better than 007...

The royal corgis.

Rowan's bit certainly did dwarf 007's. Crying shame. Brilliant, but a crying shame.

[AMC Hornet]

"Mary Poppins vs Voldemort" sounded so ludicrous that I was sure it had to be an unfounded rumour.

They did it. Bloody hell.

Still, good to see Dan & the Queen - but can't he walk without swinging his arms like he's wearing his shoulder holster up too high?

The actual surprise is the Queen partook in this minor extravaganza. Splendid little woman.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

That's one of my YouTube pet peeves. What difference does it make to the person who uploaded where someone watches it from?

[Royal Dalton]

A bit lame.

The Branagh as Brunel sequence was miles better.

[killkenny kid]

Damn just found a live stream, miss Bond.,,,,,damn you NBC, lol.

BANZAI!

[thecasinoroyale]

Well....quite dissapointed it was so un-eventful and I did believe Daniel Craig would appear in the stadium...


...BUT a very brilliant moment having the actual Queen herself escorted by James Bond! He looked just so smooth in that...born to play Bond.

And I guess we had a different story about him opening the Games, it was obviously escorting the Queen herself so, yeah, I don't mind that one.

God save the Queen!
