What a hoot! Loved it although I do think they missed a trick or two. It would have been even funnier if the base torch runner had been done in the style of The Benny Hill Show. Ou la la! Also Clarkson should have been in charge of boats. POWER! Putting a retired Radio Luxembourg in charge of sound recording was genius adding that extra comic touch to the perfectly timed deluge. Well done Paris for giving us the most memorable opening , ever.
