Oh dear... sounds like a microphone PA failure...

Sounded more like the broadcast feed had the FX mics taken out.

Don't worry. It could happen to anyone.

[POSTS CLIP OF THE "WRONG" DAVID ARNOLD APPEARING ON LIQUID NEWS]

Has anyone got that clip?

The music playing is composed by David Arnold.

Presumably the Bond-theme/Little Britain David Arnold, rather than the Live and Kicking/BBC One 2009 idents one?

Not having a go - just clarifying! Apparently they get each other's royalties a lot! Razz


Ah, okay!

Is the C4 feed being delayed so they could fit that ad break in?

The break wasn't announced in the commentary, so perhaps so.

It is in sync with Setanta though, although they went to a VT about who Dr. Wang is instead of a break. I'm not sure if it was their own or part of the ceremony. Channel 4 missed Dr. Wang being introduced in the stadium but Christian Guru-Murthy introduced her in commentary anyway.

Would "Fix You" be deemed inappropriate at the Paralympics? Always thought that was one of Coldplay's best.

I hope he's singing "Paradise" rather than "Paralyse"... of course it could be "Parrot Eyes" .
