It was a bit LOTR-like at times, but until now, that was very nice. It was also not as chauvinistic and soppy as I had feared.

Haha, James Bond protects the Queen, and old man Churchill is waving him :D

Mr Bean should drive the flame into the stadium in his Mini Cooper while flipping over the blue car. It's the only way.
