Olympic Opening Ceremonies

[robinbloke]

I've been pondering what the Olympic opening ceremony should be after madwitch posted about the opening ceremony.

Currently my best suggestion is that Brian Blessed, dressed as prince Vultan swoops down from a blimp wearing a wingsuit screaming "DIIIIIIIIIIVEEEE" snatches Excalibur from the hand of a glowing woman standing in a pond and zooms over to light the Olympic torch with it as it fzzzzt's a-la-lightsabre.

At that point everything should explode.

Any better suggestions?

Exactly as above, except get rid of everythign and just have one long cue for three windows, and the torch runner pushes in, at which point an old lady tuts him (of her) into shamefully going to the back and waiting her (or his) turn.

The granny then sprints past the gate, pokes Boris in the gut with her umbrella and shouts "FRRREEEEDOOOOMMM!!!!"
