BBC Olympics 2008 ident
I saw this when I was having my dinner this evening and thought it was absolutely fantastic. I was pretty sure it was Jamie Hewlet almost from the start, but I didn't realise the music was by Damon Albarn (for those outside the loop this is the duo responsible for the Gorillaz).
I have no interest in the Olympics at all, but I really hope the Beeb have more of these up their sleeves.
