Summary :English countryside with nostalgic bit about when Britain was all quaint and yokelish.
Industrial Revolution, when the ordinary people got screwed over and the wealthy bosses got very rich (much like the Olympics organisers).
More dancing. A few dozen Beatles clones mixed in there for some reason.
Big dance number involving a giant Voldemort and Mary Poppins clones.
Something slightly funny with Rowan Atkinson being a bit Mr. Bean-ish and pulling the same faces he's been pulling since the 80s.
Some more WTF London/England stuff. I have no idea what's going on anymore.
Nice to see Mike Oldfield is still going, though.
They should get David Tennant to light the torch while wearing his Dr. Who costume.

Yeah, I got the bit about the industrial revolution, maybe I was thinking that it would have been a bit more, erm, fun, rather than quite frankly sinister.
I mean, WTF was going on with the evil things and the floaty bed shit??
The celebration of the NHS / Great Ormand St being summed up with floaty beds, vague references to some fucknugget out of Harry Potter and the child snatcher out of Mary Poppins.
Was Danny Boyle on extra fucking massive drugs when he dreamt this shit up?
+1 For Mike Oldfield though, thats agreed.
