Well the BBC's video of the set model shows a couple of pigs...

BBC News - A look at the Olympics 'countryside' opening ceremony

What offends me is - no Morris dancers? They've got a cricket match and maypoles so why not include these quintessentially English characters?

Seriously, if people want to see the countryside why can't they just go out and look at it? We could have something far more imaginative on opening night. All these animals will be wanting to go to sleep by 9pm!
