Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
IIRC, the Queen's line of dialog here ("Good evening, Mr. Bond") is literally the only time she's ever "acted" in any sort of public venue. The "speaking part" was by her own request.
This was the first and only time a British monarch has ever participated in this kind of promotional event. Under any other circumstances than something like the opening of the London Olympics, it would basically have been a massive breach of royal etiquette.
This part was slightly unexpected and one of my favourites.
In my opinion, one of the best openings! Thank you for the reminder.
I remember watching this on TV. It is one of the best opening ceremonies I have seen so far.
The entire opening ceremony was overly British in a way that only the British can be. If any other country had put on that performance, I would have said they were mocking the British.
This was one of the best Olympic opening Ceremonies.
I'm still sad we didn't get David Tennant running the torch in; yes I know Matt Smith did it because he was the current Doctor at the time, but David was the Doctor for "Fear Her", an episode that took place during the opening of the 2012 Olympics. The Doctor ran the torch in himself and lit the brazier.
I remember that. They also just missed Floyd's pig by battersea
I remember watching this live. It was incredible. We debated for ages afterwards if that was really her at any point.
