I don't think it was hard to understand at all. Shakespeare, Industrial Revolution, some of the most recognisable music tracks in the world, Harry Potter, Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, The City of London, Churchill. . .easy stuff to get. British Culture is very easy to understand in my opinion, at least the stuff presented.
We even held back. Imagine if we'd spent more. No Deep Purple, Iron Maiden (whose biggest ever live audience is more than 3x the stadium audience of the Olympic Stadium), Led Zep, Rolling Stones, Elton John etc. We could have kept that shit coming theoretically. We even missed out Doctor Who because the athletes walked too damn slow!

David Bowie is too cool for that stuff. His absence was always to be expected.
