Olympic Opening ceremony watch along

[Theremedy]

I can’t see a thread yet but please do point me in the right direction if there is one!

Anyone else watching? It’s all kicking off at 6:30pm, apparently with the athletes parade first.

London 2012 OC was remarkable, I’m hoping the French can match that magic!

My DH has said he can no longer watch 'this shite' and asked me to turn over. To be fair he is right, I have turned over, I guess I won't find out what happens to the faceless person

Surprised the Olympic flame hasn't gone out in this weather!

Because they host it next, current hosts France are last

I can't help thinking that if this was Britain, the guy on the roofs with the flame would have some kind of safety harness and a hard hat on.

If the countries are in French alphabetical order, why are the names on the boats in English?

Torch guy is actually running in real time isn’t he? Must be quite dangerous in the rain!

I want it to be David Guetta. Haven't rtft, so apologies if he's been suggested lots already.

French and English are the languages of the Olympics

Guy with the flame should have taken an Uber. Find route with fewest jumps.

I think you’ll find we invented the train actuellement, mes amis.

Very disappointing.

The Irish team are saying sure it's only a shower

I only know this is The Sorcerer's Apprentice because of Fantasia.

Its not like france is a hotbed of internationally known talent.

I was wondering that too

I love museé d'orsay

Because they are the next hosts. This is what always happens.

There's over-reliance on pre-recorded films.

I know!! French sports commenters are know for their eye-roll comments

Paul Dukas

The Minions are hilarious. 😂

Minions are not French...

Poor effort 1/10

Where’s Astrix?

Hmm, my RainToday app radar for Paris really isn't looking great for the next hour.
