Let the games begin. After all the anticipation and speculation, the | :00:09. | :00:19. | |
:00:19. | :00:22. | ||
Opening Ceremony is under way at It began with a bucolic vision of a | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
rural Britain from centuries past. And took the spectators through the | :00:28. | :00:33. | |
industrial revolution up to the present day. With a spectacular | :00:33. | :00:43. | |
:00:43. | :00:44. | ||
vision of the Olympic rings. The Queen made a dramatic entrance. Or | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
at least appeared to. Earlier, some 65,000 people poured into the | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
Olympic Park as excitement mounted ahead of the ceremony. 1000 %! | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
Brilliant! I've been looking forward to it for so long. Will be | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
taking a look at the day's events and bring you the latest from | :01:08. | :01:15. | |
inside the Olympic Stadium. Also, as the number killed rises in Syria, | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
the UN calls on President Assad to pull back from a full-scale attack | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
on the country's second city. The man convicted of threatening on | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
Twitter to blow up Doncaster airport has his conviction | :01:28. | :01:34. | |
overturned. Spain's soaring unemployment. How one in four | :01:34. | :01:44. | |

people in the working-age London's 2012 Olympics has begun in | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
spectacular style. After seven years of planning, the waiting is | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
finally over. The Opening Ceremony started an hour ago and will | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
continue late into the night. This is the scene live in the Olympic | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
Park, with the stadium it up, flashing lights, big screen -- | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
screens applied showing the action below. It has cost �27 million to | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
stage the event, which is being watched by 65,000 spectators inside | :02:20. | :02:30. | |
:02:30. | :02:31. | ||
the stadium and its estimated up to London's Olympics have been in the | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
distance for so long that it often felt like this momentous day might | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
never come. But at eight 12am, 2012 exactly, the Red Arrows flashed | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
past the new Olympic Park to provide a very British start to the | :02:45. | :02:55. | |
Games. Down on the ground, a very familiar rural setting in entirely | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
unfamiliar surroundings. Danny Boyle's green and pleasant land | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
providing the extraordinary backdrop for the start of his hours | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
of -- for his Isles of Wonder spectacular. Then the first big | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
surprise of the night. Newly- crowned Tour de France winner | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
Bradley Wiggins, complete with yellow jersey. Chosen to ring a | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
:03:26. | :03:41. | ||
giant Bell, to formally get the Danny Boyle wanted his ambitious | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
journey through British history to reflect the country's deep | :03:45. | :03:55. | |
:03:55. | :03:56. | ||
connection to the countryside. not feared. The isle is full of | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
noises. Sounds and sweet airs that give delight. But he also wanted to | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
acknowledge the age of innovation. And, with a speech from | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
Shakespeare's Tempest, Kenneth Branagh took on the role of | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Isambard Kingdom Brunel, to usher in the industrial revolution. | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
Suddenly, chaos replaced rural serenity, leaving the 62,000 crowd | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
to wonder at the director's vision of the Victorian age. Then, from | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
high above the roof, five giant steel rings moved to the centre of | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
the stadium to form the five Olympic rings. This was only a | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
taste of London's show for the world, but it was already leading | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
the global TV audience of 1 billion with a very different view of | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
Britain. For many, the Opening Ceremony is as widely anticipated | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
as much of the sport that follows it. There were tens of thousands of | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
spectators travelling to the Olympic Park, it's an important | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
test for the Biriba's organisers, too. The report on the day the eyes | :05:04. | :05:10. | |
of the world turned to Stratford. It started with a celebration. Led | :05:10. | :05:16. | |
by Big Ben, bells across the country welcomed in the first day. | :05:16. | :05:21. | |
The Culture Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, tried to join in. Oh, my goodness | :05:21. | :05:28. | |
me! But that didn't really work out. Bigger tests were the head. The | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
transport system first in the spotlight, as the world gathered | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
and headed to east London. For the Godfry family, a hope for | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
application ending with an invitation to the Greatest Show on | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
Earth. I've seen the sort of things on the TV but I never thought I'd | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
get to go to one in my lifetime. I'm going to see billions of famous | :05:49. | :05:59. | |
:05:59. | :05:59. | ||
people in a massive Opening People have talked about the | :06:00. | :06:08. | |
Olympic party for years. Now, outside the stadium, it was | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
starting. I love you, London. A kiss from Brazil. Everything is | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
fine, everything is in good shape. Well done. Be is a great event, | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
it's brilliant for Britain and the public. The Kamal family live | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
around the corner. They haven't got tickets but they wanted to see | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
their new noisy neighbours. I have been living in this area the last | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
five years. This has massively changed everything. Construction, | :06:33. | :06:39. | |
building. It is my area. I'm really excited. But there were different | :06:40. | :06:46. | |
views. This is an East End market a couple of miles from the stadium. | :06:46. | :06:51. | |
How many people from this area will be sitting in the front seats? | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
There won't be many, and that is what is wrong. I'm fed up with the | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
Olympics. They haven't even started yet. I know, that's what I mean. | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
Please clear this area, this is tickets only. Back in the stadium, | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
but those with tickets, an enormous security presence. And a separate | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
GB team of police officers from across the country. I think it's | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
the experience of a lifetime. It's a thumbs-up from me. So by the time | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
you get here, very near the stadium just around the corner, you are in | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
no doubt about the tightness of security. By the time you get here, | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
you've had about five cheques. But for the lucky few, into the park | :07:34. | :07:41. | |
and a seat to watch history being made. 1000 % - brilliant! I've been | :07:41. | :07:47. | |
looking forward to it for so long. A but thousands without tickets | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
have tonight shared the moment. 60,000 here at Hyde Park. It sounds | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
like a cliche but I think it makes you feel proud to be British. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
been waiting so long and finally it is here. There are screenings like | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
this across the country. The first Test seems to have been passed. The | :08:04. | :08:10. | |
Games have begun with a national party. Very soon the Olympic torch | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
will reach its final destination at the Olympic Stadium. Since it | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
arrived in Britain to 70 days ago, but torch has travelled the length | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
and breadth of the land. Robert Hall has been that it every step of | :08:22. | :08:24. | |
the way, and he reports on the final day as it was carried down | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
the River Thames. The twists and turns of this nationwide journey | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
are virtually complete. The Olympic flame leading dry land via Hampton | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
Court's famous hedge maze to follow the currents which once carried | :08:40. | :08:46. | |
Henry VIII to his capital. Four time gold medallist Matthew Pinsent | :08:46. | :08:52. | |
dance his way to the rowing Bargh Gloriana. And the fiery cauldron in | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
her bow. At her oars, Olympians spanning more than six decades. | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
Including Michael Le Page and Paul Berger, both in their 90s, who rode | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
in the 1948 games. Behind Tergat at dozens of Thames rowing skiffs, | :09:09. | :09:16. | |
some dating back to the 1900. Ahead, on grassy river banks, we'd covered | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
slipways, craning over the parapets of bridges, the early risers adding | :09:20. | :09:27. | |
their voices to the millions who cheered the flames passing. In all, | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
90 boats representing the Thames tradition would take part. The | :09:32. | :09:39. | |
flotilla shepherded through the lock by Michael Knight, the man who | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
organised a similar event on a soggy Sunday a few months ago. | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
be part of it, carrying the flame back into London to go on to the | :09:48. | :09:54. | |
stadium tonight, it's fantastic. the Boat race course, young rowers | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
from clubs across the capital joined the procession. In Fulham in | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
Putney, rolling communities lined the water's edge to urge them on. | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
And so to central London's urban landscape, with more lofty vantage | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
points on offer. Under the famous bridges to the seat of government. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
In a way, the torch relay was a production with great locations and | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
a huge cast. And on those terms we are now in the finale. A last | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
chance for the people on the banks and bridges to glimpse the flame | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
before it performs the task the world awaits. Down river at Tower | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
Bridge, the Thames had become an arena, populated by London as and | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
their Olympic visitors. Seeing the crowds and people, it has brought | :10:41. | :10:47. | |
it back home that it's really exciting. I've travelled a long way. | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
Go, London! Below them, the story which has touched so many was | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
drawing to wait close. The relay proved a huge success but it was | :10:57. | :11:05. | |
just a curtain raiser.... For the main event. The start of that main | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
event is going on now. James Pearce is inside the Olympic Stadium. What | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
is the atmosphere like? It is fantastic. It is a little dark | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
around me because we can't turn the light on the camera and disrupt | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
this spectacular. It's been a very British show so far, full of humour | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
and also full of surprises. The biggest one, one of the talking | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
points for the whole show is going to be a film which was shown just | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
before the entrance of Her Majesty the Queen and the Jacques Rogge, | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
the President of the aisle seat. It was filmed back in March in | :11:39. | :11:43. | |
Buckingham Palace. There was a scene when Daniel Craig, James Bond, | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
was invited to Buckingham Palace to see the Queen. The Queen turned | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
round and said, good evening, Mr Bond. The tour were then filmed | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
leaving Buckingham Palace, they headed here towards the stadium. | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
That film then cut two-way live sequence with a helicopter hanging | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
over the stadium. We saw the Union Jack coming out, parachutes coming | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
out and this dictionary James Bond coming down to the stadium. Much | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
more in store, the athletes haven't even arrived yet. We will have more | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
on events at the Olympic Park later in the programme. First, let's take | :12:19. | :12:24. | |
a look at the rest of the day's news. World leaders have called on | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
Syria's government to end its assault on the country's biggest | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
city. Thousands of troops have surrounded Aleppo, parts of which | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
have been seized by rebel fighters. The United Nations, along with | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
Britain and France, say they fear a full scale attack on the city and | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
the mass so -- slaughter of civilians. This report contains | :12:44. | :12:54. | |
:12:54. | :12:56. | ||
That sound of a shell landing and exploding is too familiar in Syria. | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
These pictures aren't verified, as they were downloaded from the web. | :13:00. | :13:10. | |
:13:10. | :13:12. | ||
But they show how heavy weapons can This is said to be a town near | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
Damascus, but as the civil war spreads it could be anywhere in the | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
country. Some people are getting out of Aleppo, Syria's biggest and | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
richest city, and they are attempting to drive out rebels | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
holding parts of the city, as they expected. Shells are coming in as | :13:32. | :13:37. | |
well and the regime cannot afford to lose a Aleppo. This could be the | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
turning point in the civil war. At night, a bakery was operating and | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
foodies in short supply. The rebels would like to make Aleppo, the | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
centre of a liberated area, close to the border, which is why the | :13:52. | :13:57. | |
regime wants it back. In London, David Cameron met his Turkish | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
counterpart with more strong criticism of the President Assad | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
regime. This regime needs to realise it is illegitimate, it is | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
wrong and needs to stop what it is doing and the international | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
pressure against the regime and the President is only going to build | :14:11. | :14:17. | |
until he finally goes. The Turkish Prime Minister has his own worries. | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
The factions appearing in Syria are changing the balance of power in | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
the region. One beneficiary of that could be the Kurdish, a stateless | :14:24. | :14:29. | |
people who live in parts of Syria, Turkey and Iran. In north-west | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
Syria, the Kurds are taking control of some towns, alarming the Turks | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
who have been fighting the coalition insurgents for years. It | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
is another sign of how the civil war is exporting political | :14:40. | :14:48. | |
instability. And this family got out of Syria into Jordan, but their | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
three-year-old son were shot dead by a Syrian border guard, according | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
to Jordanian officials. His mother said she was a martyr but was now | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
:15:08. | :15:11. | ||
no better place night - his mother said he was a martyr. On target on | :15:12. | :15:21. | |
:15:22. | :15:22. | ||
target in the archery, the first world record of 2012. A man who | :15:22. | :15:24. | |
joked on Twitter about blowing up Doncaster Airport because of | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
disruption to his travel plans has had his conviction over-turned at | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
the High Court. Paul Chambers was found guilty of sending a | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
threatening message two and a half years ago. Mr Chambers' case | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
attracted support from campaigners for freedom of speech as Matt | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
Prodger explains. Innocent at last. On the left, a man whose joke about | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
blowing up an airport costing two jobs and landed in a criminal | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
record. The well, he won. He won. He is clear. Really each, have | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
indicated and that is about all I can muster at the minute. It is | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
ridiculously got this far. He has had the backing of thousands of | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
people on Twitter, and famous faces like Al Murray, who said it was | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
about free speech. He was doing what we all do, which is saying | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
something in the heat of the moment which was an expression of | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
frustration. The absurdity of it, really. By back in 2012 Paul | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
Chambers was about to fly to Northern Ireland by until he found | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
out that a flight from Doncaster had been cancelled due to bad | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
weather. This is what he'd waited weather. This is what he'd waited | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
to his followers. His lawyers said the swear words and exclamation | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
marks only reinforce the fact that the threat to blow up the airport | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
was a joke. But prosecutors said it was a menacing message and until | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
After two and a half years and consideration by nine different | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
judges and magistrates, Paul Chambers is clear. The question is, | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
why was he ever prosecuted in the first place? The answer, say the | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
prosecutors, is that the law with regard to Twitter is not clear | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
enough. With today's judgment, it The man who murdered the Indian | :17:03. | :17:11. | |
student Anuj Bidve has been jailed for a minimum of 30 years. Kiaran | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
Stapleton shot the 23-year-old in the head at point blank range on | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
Boxing Day last year. He was convicted of murder at Manchester | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
Crown Court yesterday. Barclays has made a half-year | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
profit of more than �4 billion despite the recent turbulent time | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
for the bank. Last month it received a record fine for | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
attempting to manipulate the lending rate between banks and it's | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
now subject to a new investigation Unemployment in Spain has reached | :17:35. | :17:38. | |
the highest level since records began in 1976 with a quarter of the | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
working age population unable to find a job. The news comes amid | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
fresh rumours that Spain would seek a bailout to deal with their | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
government debt. The German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, and | :17:47. | :17:49. | |
French President, Francois Hollande said that they were "determined to | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
do everything to protect the euro zone". Our Chief Economics | :17:52. | :18:02. | |
:18:02. | :18:02. | ||
Queues of the unemployed are growing. Nearly a quarter of the | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
Spanish workforce are out of work, the highest proportion in the | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
European Union. It is back to the 70s and the Spanish jobless rate | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
has not been so high since this era, when dictatorship was giving away | :18:15. | :18:22. | |
too modern democracy. Violent protests have been seen on the | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
streets of Madrid, and recently firefighters joined other public | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
sector workers to campaign against austerity measures, and the Spanish | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
government could be running out of time as it battles to reduce | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
borrowing in the face of a deepening recession. | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
unemployment rate is continuing to be a drag on growth and from a | :18:40. | :18:47. | |
purely market point of view, Mike - - most investors are looking for a | :18:47. | :18:52. | |
bail-out for the Spanish government this year. The French President and | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
German Chancellor said in a joint statement that they would do | :18:55. | :18:59. | |
everything they could to protect the euro, one of the biggest | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
challenges for the Franco-German alliance. They celebrated the 50th | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
anniversary earlier this month. Their response followed the | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
dramatic pledge yesterday by Mario druggy, the European central bank | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
chief. He said they would do whatever it takes to preserve the | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
euro, and believe me, it will be enough. In the European financial | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
markets, including here on the City of London, traders drew 1 at key | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
conclusion, that the European Central Bank was ready to intervene | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
are large fell by buying up Spanish and other government bonds, having | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
previously been reluctant to do so. The markets are reacting positively. | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
They do think this could be a turning point in the crisis. If the | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
ECB gives up that reluctance and puts up more funds to support the | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
markets, this could indeed be the end of this market panic. But that | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
still leaves the Greek problem. International lenders left Athens | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
having pushed the government to stick to war austerity plans. The | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Commission President urged Greek ministers to deliver, but there is | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
growing speculation that they can't or they won't, which leaves a Greek | :20:04. | :20:12. | |
Elsewhere there have been fresh indications that the US economic | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
recovery is faltering. Figures reveal that growth has slowed to | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
1.5%, the slowest pace for almost a year. The commerce department is | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
blaming the slowdown on weaker consumer spending and increased | :20:20. | :20:28. | |
Back to the Olympics now, and while the Opening Ceremony still has some | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
way to go, the sporting action has been up and running for three days. | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
Today, the first world records started tumbling. The first went to | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
South Korea's Im Dong-Hyun, who is partially sighted, when he broke | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
his own individual record in the men's archery, as Joe Wilson | :20:43. | :20:51. | |
The home of cricket for the first Test between bows and arrows, and | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
the first Test for Olympic sport in London. The preliminary round of | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
archery but a Major attraction for those who love the sport. But there | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
they were, left outside. Over the morning hundreds arrived outside to | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
watch, but they couldn't. This event was widely advertised as on | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
ticketed and his family came from Oregon, USA, thinking it was an | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
invitation. My interpretation was free to the public. A free day for | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
people to come in, get a feel for it, get an idea of what it is like. | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
It sounded like a generous gesture. Had you feel to not be able to get | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
in? What sort of words and I allowed to use on the BBC? I don't | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
think I'm very happy about it and I don't think my family are. They | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
were meant to explain that tickets were never available for Friday | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
archery, meaning it was closed. A least the cameras captured | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
something extraordinary. South Korea's men set a new standard for | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
accuracy, with Im Dong-Hyun are making the highest score | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
individually ever, and his eyesight is so poor that he can not see the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
target virtually. You sometimes don't want to see what is going on | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
because it is distracting. So he could have a little advantage. | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
whole point of the archery today was to decide who would play who in | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
the knockout matches tomorrow, and for the main event they will move | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
to the main venue. This could be a stunning location for Britain's men | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
have to win a medal, but they will Let's return to the opening | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
ceremony behind me here. Our Sports Editor David Bond is in the Olympic | :22:25. | :22:35. | |

As you can see we are surrounded by the most wonderful scene of | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
pandemonium. To my left, some of the dancers and performance -- | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
performers who have just finished their Estyn. What was it like? The | :22:46. | :22:56. | |

If I can just turn away to my right, you can see the athletes from the | :22:56. | :23:01. | |
marching teams about to go into the stadium for the opening ceremony. | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
We are obviously only halfway through and there is a lot more to | :23:03. | :23:13. | |

come, including the big moment of He wanted this to be a modest but | :23:19. | :23:22. | |
proud reflection on British history and culture, but if this is modest, | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
others like to see what he does when he shows off, because this has | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
been spectacular. Lots of people commenting about how good it has | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
been in reflecting British culture and music, but also the British | :23:35. | :23:39. | |
sense of humour, particularly that moment with the Queen and Daniel | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
Craig playing James Bond. I think that went down really well. There | :23:42. | :23:47. | |
will be moments of controversy. The whole sequence with the NHS may | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
lead some people to question whether Danny Boyle was trying to | :23:50. | :24:00. | |
make a political point, but overall, it seems to be going very well. | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
