I thought it was brilliantly done. It was more a story (well told as well!) than a massive "look how we can make the robots work" showoff type of thing.

Only criticism would be that in the music through the ages section, they missed out Pink Floyd

Rather rather amusing. Look Camilla behind him though. She's laughing her head off.

Agreed, it's time for Paul to stop. That was embarrassing.

The lighting of the 'flame' was a bit boring.... I was hoping they would maybe set Elton John on fire and have David Beckham kick him into the bowl thingy accompanied by The Prodigy blasting out 'Twisted Firestarter'
