The background info was great but I didn't rate their footage too much - don't think it did it justice at all.

I watched it but i wasnt impressed to be honest.
The crowds were amazing and the great liverpool spirit in the rain,
but the spider its self looked like a maccarrno set frown

It looked like it was on wheels,
i at least thought it would have walked under its own power.
Like a spider would.

And on that program it said it was tax payers money?
Well Gordon Burns was asked about it.

It was on wheels,

It had a little truck underneath which carried it, all the legs wid was move about to make it look like it was walking

I wasn't impressed by that either no

Although I didn't watch the program, the BBC's footage of the finale looks like it was filmed in the park where I was and they had just a crap as I did

THe press tent was up in the park but I would have expected their cameras to get in closer.
I feel the musicians have had a really bad deal. They did a fantastic job and must have worked their @rses off, they seem to have no recogniton for their part. They've had no coverage and to add insult to injury, the BBC dubbed over them with their own music!
