I just caught the end which is usually the more boring bit but I thought even that was well done (my wife said she enjoyed the main ceremony). I think they just made it fun and atmospheric to be there which came through the telly really well. Jolly good show Britain

I really did want to see the opening ceremony but managed to miss the entire thing.
Does anyone please know of a definate repeat time and channel in Australia? (Pay or commercial tv?)

Channel Nine has it listed at 12:30pm WA time. I might be able to catch the parts I missed when I slept in.

When the Parade of Nations started, there was a music played..I think it is the song Galvanize by Chemical Brothers.. There is a melody I recognize in their song. Actually, this group "sampled" the original song( kedba bayna) of the Moroccan Singer Najat Aatabou in their song Galvanize..There were some talks that they did not pay her when they did it...

Yeah, we have Foxtel anyway (and they're giving us those extra channels free as part of our regular package) but I didn't see the Opening Ceremony on any of them. Weird. Have Foxtel but have to watch regular TV for the big show.

someone said yesterday its repeated on 9 at 2 pm.
Missed a lot of it after C in the olympic parade.
Pretty impressive what I saw, loved the way the set changes were part of the show, and the Corgis for some reason, they looked so normal And the industrial revolution - wow

Shows how much I've been paying attention… But I only just noticed this is the XXX games. Wonder how that will get the imaginations of the pornographers going… Maybe with all the news about olympic village orgies lately someone will produce a series called athletes gone wild… Maybe I should copywrite that title now before anyone else does.
I wonder if they're going to have olympic commemorative condoms… A box set with five condoms in the olympic colours
