This is just a quick alert to a couple of things you might be interested in elsewhere in the growing world of BBC 2012.
First, I've mentioned before that we're hoping to experiment in 2012 with Super Hi Vision - which is a big new improved version of High Definition. It's still at a very early stage so at most during the London Games it will be confined to a small number of test screens; and it could be a decade before anything like this will be in your home. But having seen what's been achieved so far in partnership between Japan's NHK and the BBC's research and development teams - I'm sure it's something people will love.
This week we carried out the first ever live broadcast of Super Hi Vision between London and Tokyo - featuring The Charlatans as our cultural offering to Japan - and you can read more about it here. There will also be a report on this week's edition of Click, which you can see on the BBC News Channel in the UK and on BBC World News.
Not the only way to guarantee a great view of the Olympic Stadium
Second, and much more concrete in every sense: the Olympic Stadium. We unveiled the BBC 2012 website to coincide with 2 years to go - and it was what we call in the trade 'a soft launch': getting it running and bringing together existing content, but with the aim of making it much more ambitious as we get closer to 2012 itself. Well, today you can see some of the new material we're starting to introduce with a piece about the design of the stadium including an article specially written by one of the leading architects.
But if it inspires you enough to want to make a bid for the stadium after the Olympics - sadly, you're too late. The deadline has now passed but we will, of course, keep you posted on what happens next.
