[FetchFugly]

Well he's been shit in a bucket tonight love

I usually enjoy his somewhat curmudgeonly commentary on the athletics and voiceovers of the end of games montages, but Hazel is better at this kind of thing.

 

[AGinAg (38)]

OK, as it's (hopefully) nearing it's end, on balance it ambition has been admirable and there have been some nice ideas. Rehearsal would have improved execution.

 

[Soldi]

Here she is!

 

[AGinAg (38)]

Ok Celine on the Eiffel Tower. London 2012 CANCELLED.

That shot of the cauldron with the Eiffel Tower in the background was stunning

A 7/10 ceremony on average for me, but I'm very happy I watched and I LOVE THE OLYMPICS

 

[Kratz]

I was going to say - it’s been a gorgeous evening in London - just a stone’s throw away

 

[Alex]

Wow and I know now just how much that would have meant to her. Amazing

 

[PercyPig]

Have the BBC got a French production team?

 

[VoR]

Shame (but understandable) that she couldn't do it live, but still a lovely moment.

 

[Alex]

Actually bawling at Celine on the Eiffel Tower.

Oh yes tears here too !
