The complete four-part BBC drama in which the events of one night are re-told from the perspectives of different characters who are inevitably linked by the evening's outcome.

When teenage rebel Rochelle (Georgina Campbell) litters the street outside his house, Ted makes sure she is punished but, in doing so, damages her chances at further education. Rochelle's mum, Carol (Jessica Hynes), is already struggling to cope with her life at home and at work when the police turn up looking for her son. Meanwhile, young Alfie (Billy Matthews) is about to turn 13 when he is faced with a difficult decision.
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.
