About Neville Hobson
Ouch, I wanted to be impressed, but I felt like I was watching a trailer for a Pixar movie.
+Lee Keels you need to watch it more than once
I did
+Lee Keels heh, can't please everyone

Yeah, I saw this last night. They screened it towards the end of the EURO 2012 final coverage. So I'd say, not so much 'building excitement' as trying to maintain the sports 'high' that everyone is on.
