London 2012: Pressure mounts of head of ceremonies

27 January 2012 Last updated at 06:27 ET Help

As head of ceremonies for the London 2012 Olympics, Martin Green, has just six months left to deliver a three-hour show to possibly the biggest global TV audience ever.

Not only is he in charge of all the opening and closing ceremonies, but the medal ceremonies too and the torch relay.

An estimated audience of one billion watched the Beijing opening ceremony - and his London show is expected to beat that.

Mr Green, who is from Essex, says it is a thrilling honour but admits he has moments of "absolute terror".
