Schwarzenegger’s story is remarkable and he tells it well, but we could have done with a bit less reverence from Jonathan Ross
The evening starts shambolically. Technical problems hold things up, though I suspect the technicalities are more to do with Arnold Schwarzenegger not being here on time. Half an hour late, and we’re off. “A big welcome to Jonathan Ross,” the host Rebecca Cooper says to warm applause.
But Ross fails to materialise. “Just a short delay because Jonathan Ross has been held up. We shouldn’t be too long at all.” The room is hot and stuffy, the atmosphere not entirely relaxed. “Get me out of this hole,” shouts an audience member, paraphrasing Schwarzenegger in Predator. Not only has Arnie killed more people than any other mainstream action hero (509 and counting), he’s also patented more one-liners than any other movie star.

Bloggers from Canada, the Us, Malaysia, Australia, Germany and the UK with a combined readership of 2.5m have been chosen by Tourism Queensland to blog about the area.
