My drama was looking up part way through the teams' entrances to see my recorder had switched itself off. Fortunately, I'd hedged my bets and asked my mum to capture it as well, so will catch up with the whole thing one day (I considered asking her to try and choose the option that was devoid of commentary but it would have taken too long to explain). As it was, by whatever chance the recorder decided it was time to stop that occured during Rowan Atkinson's filmed insert.
Saving a little bit of the surprise, I was anticipating a short slot amongst the many, with more emphasis to the bell-ringing end of TB. When an arpeggio featured as early as it did, I was slightly disappointed - fearing that whatever was about to happen might be overwhelmed by all the whatevers that were yet to come. The fact that I'm as bowled over by the bonkers visuals as the delightful arrangement of the music speaks wonders for the care taken by all those involved to produce a segment that is at least the equal of the others. Loved the lot.
Some of which I was only keeping half-an-eye on for a while! My other confession must include investigating the online reaction to Mike's performance. To be honest, other aspects trended for longer in various loations: Trevor Nelson was worldwide fo a while although of the four UK cities listed, only in London; and the late Jimmy Saville was brought to the world's attention once Team GB's outfits caught our eye! But I think my favourite memory will be one of those tweets that seek to find out why anything is attracting so much attention, for the benefit of the rest of the community. Why, it wondered, is In Dulci Jubilo, first noticed in London, trending worldwide?
