I'm confused, what's the link between NHS, children, reading, Harry potter and mary poppin?

It's really incoherent...

It's great, but I've a feeling a lot of international viewers will be totally baffled. If they thought we were eccentric before they probably think we're totally bonkers now!

This is what I'm thinking, I get it cause I'm British, but how well will it translate.

surely NHS is about polish dentists and dirty wards staffed by immigrants and black teenagers with knife wounds?

Are you not the same guy asking when is it over? Yet your sitting watching it?

I'm loving this so far. A lot better than a few dancers and some fireworks like most ceremonies.

really really good so far for me! Proud to be British! bring on the games!

In the run up to this I've been indifferent but am actually rather enjoying the ceremony. Really enjoyed the industrial revolution part.

will they show the rave culture from the early 90's or football hooliganism from the 1970/80's?

CaptainRAVE · 27 Jul 2012 at 21:46

So they somehow mixed in the NHS with Harry Potter AND Mary Poppins. Huh? Seriously confused.

NHS = one of the best health care systems in the world.

It was then connected by the children's hospital, then it moved onto children's books, for which we have great history and worldwide success in.
