0:03:22 > 0:03:26They're too polite to win. It's all like, "Sorry, sorry."
0:03:26 > 0:03:30Yeah, mate, I am in a bit of a hurry here. I'm a British boxer, yeah?
0:03:30 > 0:03:34Pang, you're down. "Ooh, did I knock you out? Sorry."
0:03:34 > 0:03:36"I can throw this javelin further than you,
0:03:36 > 0:03:39"but I won't, cos if I win, that'd be rude. Sorry."
0:03:39 > 0:03:42Too polite, the Brits, gets on my nerves, you know?
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Sorry. Always apologising.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57And you run like a girl!

0:04:16 > 0:04:19so turning that dream into reality, absolutely fantastic.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23Kriss, I cannot believe that your last Olympics was 1992!

0:04:29 > 0:04:36I tell you what, I would love to be at these Games. Who is this guy?
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Sorry, I'm late. One of the torchbearers.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41You've just missed them. We've already done that item.
0:04:41 > 0:04:45Oh, you're kidding me? What's going on?
0:04:45 > 0:04:50Who are you, then? Mark Foster. Akabusi. Are you not torchbearers?
0:04:50 > 0:04:52THEY LAUGH
0:04:52 > 0:04:56We're very sorry about this. Can we get security in here, please?
0:04:56 > 0:05:00No, you're all right, I'll see myself out. Don't worry about it.
0:05:00 > 0:05:04Once I'm gone, you can do it again, can't you? We're live, you idiot.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08Live? Idiot? That's nice, isn't it?

0:05:21 > 0:05:24Torch boy. I missed them.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29They've gone to Wembley stadium.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33You know, the Greeks, we knew how to build a stadium.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Pillars and columns as far as the eye could see.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39Yeah, mate, can you just shut up and put your foot down? Go!
0:06:00 > 0:06:01There you go.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25I-I'm sorry, Tessa. I'm sorry, darling. S-Sorry.

0:12:15 > 0:12:17I really want them to be proud of me.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22And...I know I'm not perfect...
0:12:22 > 0:12:26and I might not have always done the right thing, but...

0:12:29 > 0:12:31All my life, I've tried.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36And that's what the Olympics is all about, innit? Trying.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32Now, you may have the chest of a pigeon, eh?
0:13:33 > 0:13:35You may run like a girl,
0:13:36 > 0:13:41you may have in indescribable aura of downtrodden, working-class negativity.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43It's part of your charm, it's part of being British.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47But you, my friend, you deserve to be here.
