Boyle and Daldry, London's Olympic double act
Both are known for uplifting feelgood movies where the virtuous child gets what they deserve despite all the obstacles – whether it's a chai wallah from the slums or a miner's son who just wants to dance. So there was little surprise, but much cheer, when Danny Boyle and Stephen Daldry were today put in charge of London's 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.
