The Olympic Opening Ceremony will be shown on TV here at 6.30 p.m. this evening I'm told...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-19020830 Danny Boyle, Oscar-winning filmmaker of “Slumdog Millionaire” and
“Trainspotting” and “127 Hours” is said to have jammed the
program at London’s third modern
Olympiad with nods/references to James Bond (with Daniel Craig) as well as the Beatles (with Sir Paul McCartney
leading a huge sing-along) and symbols of
English literature like Alice in Wonderland, Peter
Pan, Harry Potter, Shakespeare, etc. More info. on Danny Boyle @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Boyle

The Guardian gives a synopsis of the ceremony -- including the NHS-themed scene below -- not yet seen here in the States. We have to wait another two hours!
