Benedict Cumberbatch introduces the BBC's 2012 Olympics Coverage

The Story begins: Once upon a memorable time............. Subject: "London The Olympic Theatre" Read on............ Truly brilliant opening sequence from the BBC coverage of the London Olympics shown on 27th July 2012. The Plot: Tracks the hearbeat of nation, London its pumping heart. Explores in broad sweeps the weight of history that shaped blow by blow, cut by cut, chip by chip the inviolate stone edifice - masquerading as a sprawling metropolis - that is today's London. "The great inviolate place had an ancient permanence which the sea cannot claim" Thomas Hardy London has known suffering, sedition and jeopardy ("ring a ring of roses, a pocket full of posies") and has emerged the stronger for being both resilient and paradoxically also able to adapt and change. London's Civil War was in 1640's France's fraticidal revolution was 1789. 150 years of first mover advantage. Important because London is all its people and all its cultures not just its stone and recent history. "This is London of the Olympic Games and since this is our heart and our voice. London must feel and speak of Love..... " The critique: London is presented as a modern cosmopolitan city that willingingly draws on its knowledge of the power of "cause and effect" and the role of "ritual and respect". This means it retains a deep, almost visceral, sense of the significant event, the seismic shift and the serious situation. And many world events - good and bad -have happened here. In many ways flawed, many ways challenged (just like the lifes of its big symbols Churchill and Thatcher), London is always striving to unite its history, people and position and defend its values. The Olympics offer the ideal opportunity for London to invite the world and embrace it whilst rediscovering and redefining its Englishness to its own people. The ABC of Production Values: Atmospheric, Bold, Communicative, Astounding, Brilliant (shiny), Confident The narrator is Sherlock Holmes "impersonator" Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch. Great Characterisation (place, people, protagonist), Brilliant Production Values. No organisation delivers insight, inspiration and intelligent production like the BBC. I am proud to say @ BBC Television .
