Think you need to relax. It was a great show. The Olympic rings rising from those “Stanic Mills” was visually stunning.

Absolutely FANTASTIC part of the ceremony

Agreed. I thought beforehand that it was going to be lousy - and I’m British.

But the Industrial Revolution sequence was visionary - and a very impressive piece of engineering in its own right. That climatic scene of five forged rings of molten iron was simply superb.

I could have done without the homage to the NHS, but that whole Chariots of Fire scene was hysterical visual comedy. And the Cauldron of Fire Petals was very nicely done.
