Didn't have the British commentary but like you(Susie) thought the design of the cauldron and the Olympic flame truly represents each nation, though lit through the Olympions of the past nominating a young athlete to carry their light to the new games -very evocative.
Great fireworks -but then I'm a fan.
The representation of Brit music was also well done - even the Sex Pistols represented!
Tried to be too "Hollywood", having the Queen as a Bond girl, though it made me smile, then Beckham speedboating it up the Thames with a winning smile was just too much...no doubt Posh will be having erotic dreams about it tonight...
