Seen and heard in
London – and on screen – as the 2012 London Olympics go from
strength-to-strength.
This
Is The BBC
The coverage on the BBC of the London
Olympics has been exemplary. It's a real return to form after the low point of the Diamond
Jubilee pageant.
London has looked nothing less than
majestic on our screens. During the women’s marathon – through rain, through
sun, through thunder and lightning and sun again – the backdrop changed in tone
and texture so often that it was like an architectural fireworks display.
It was also a great reminder of the wise
old London sooth:
If you don’t like the London weather… just
wait 10 minutes.
Gold:
She’s The One For Us

BBC Presenter Note #1. Clare Balding: WE
LOVE YOU.
Can we have you as our Prime Minister, please?
Silver:
If You Knew Suzy…
BBC Presenter Note #2: On the opening night
the wonderful Sue Barker used the word “vibe” – the effect was like the Dowager
Countess in Downton Abbey breaking wind.

Not Qualify: A Tie Would Be The Best Result…
BBC Presenter Note #3: Can’t the TV license
fee stretch to a tie for Gary Lineker?

The
Blub-Lympics 2012
It’s become like a Pavlovian response here
at The Daily Constitutional. It started when Lizzie Armistead won silver in the
cycling. It worsened when Rebecca Addlington won bronze in the 400m Freestyle
in the pool.
It became a deluge when the Team GB golds
started coming in.
And from then on it just takes the merest
glimpse of a podium, the slightest snippet of a national anthem (doesn’t matter
which country) and just a glint of a medal (metal immaterial)… to make us burst
into tears.
