countdown from russelldavies on Vimeo.
I'm a real olympo-optimist. I think the olympics are going to be brilliant. But years of sci-fi movie countdowns have conditioned me to feel rather anxious living in the shadow of this on the BT Tower. It's exactly what evil aliens/baddies would do if they wanted to threaten London (those few aliens who don't start with California) - they'd hijack the BT Tower and glower over us all from up there. Countdowns are threatening. They just are.
