The second series of fly on the wall mockumentary series Twenty Twelve continues to build on the success of the first series.Hugh Bonneville stars of the head of the Olympics Deliverance Commission in London as they prepare for the London 2012 Olympic Games. As ever, there are problems ahead for the team as they plan for the biggest party the UK's ever seen.
From an Algerian team threatening to boycott the games after they discover a building's not facing Mecca to discovering the opening ceremony fireworks display will launch the ground-to-air missiles installed to protect the Games, there's plenty of satire on offer here.
With a great ensemble and smart cast as well as a gentle script, Twenty Twelve Series 2 is a welcome return and a series which having seen what the Olympics actually delivered in London 2012, makes you wonder just how true it actually all is.
