Twenty Twelve - Season 1 & 2 (DVD)

All thirteen episodes from the first and second season of the BBC mockumentary comedy following the trials and tribulations of the team responsible for staging the 2012 London Olympic Games.

Narrator David Tennant guides the audience through events as Head of Deliverance Ian Fletcher and his support team, including PR operative Siobhan Sharpe, Head of Sustainability Kay Hope and straight-talking Yorkshire man Nick Jowett, take charge of a £9 billion budget.

In the first season, the team must somehow keep the event on track as they face confronting challenges from getting a busload of non-English speaking Brazilians from A to B, who to appoint to run the Cultural Olympiad and what to do when the much-vaunted wind turbines won’t turn because there’s no wind, it’s all in a day’s work for the men and women whose job it is to stage the greatest sporting event in the world.

The challenges they face in season 2 include finding a way of presenting the future of the Olympic Stadium post Games as something other than a complete shambles, how to get the Olympic Torch Relay Route to go through Shropshire, exactly how best to market “Jubilympics” as a joint branding venture between the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics, and the series kicks off with the team facing their biggest challenge yet when the Algerian team threaten to boycott the games after discovering that the Shared Belief Centre does not face Mecca.
