Absolutely loving the coverage tonight. Gary and Sue really are an unlikely fantastic duo.

I assume the BBC will show the 20:12 pre-show rather than let it play out in the background, but they've not really mentioned it.

It's just for those in the stadium, sounds like it's just a couple of people with microphones whipping up the crowd.
Though I assume that video was part of it

I'm surprised that 3D fly across London didn't have the Stadium GB background. Trick missed there I think.

Backing up obviously with just two hours of build up time was tight tonight as they opened with a short version of the titles.

Was that the F1 race countdown used just then for the countdown to the Opening Ceremony?

It's been used for football and I'm pretty sure other things.

Yep it's been used for the Superbowl as well.

Interesting choice of subject to use as an opening title to BBC HD's 3D coverage: kick boxers kicking each other's heads in rhythm to First Steps...

Enjoying the coverage, a good mix of athletes, Jake and Mishal are a good pairing and the VT's have been very informative.

They do seem to be treating it like a new toy though.
