Okay, I'll admit it. While I was pretty confident that we had a good programme to announce - which is of course the only thing that REALLY matters - this morning I was wishing I'd never uttered the words, 'Let's do it live online!'
So many things could have gone wrong. But somehow they didn't. We saw Mathilde live from Snowdon (possibly the funniest moment of the day). The young people of Bridgend were inspiring, and Lucy and I managed to get all the shows in the right order. Even the hula hoops went to plan!
For those of you who missed our livecast, all of the details of the programme are now available on our shiny new website. (Have a look at the many clever ways it draws on this community site - pulling comment and blogs out to place alongside shows). And for those of you who want to see Mathilde, the young people of Bridgend, and all the wonderful video clips, there will be a video available on the website very soon.
Huge thanks to all the technical and production team who made the launch work so well. Very few people - and there were folk watching all over the world - had any problems seeing or hearing what was going on - remarkable for an internet event. And thanks to all of you who logged in, joined live chat and sent us your messages of support. It's been a great day. Now for some truly extraordinary shows!
