Product Description
As the Games get ever nearer the Algerian Olympic team threaten to boycott the Games after discovering that the Shared Belief Centre does not face Mecca.
Ian and his team have just hours to find a solution that will keep everyone happy. Head of Infrastructure Graham ends up accompanying Ian to a crucial three-way teleconference with Sebastian Coe, the British Foreign Office and the Algerian representative, Dr Benhamadi.
No chance then, that events will end up veering badly off track.

As a London cabby it had a bit of added interest ... although the writers tried to make the traffic aspect funny they never stood a chance against the real traffic team.

Bought this for my son (and me) who loved this series. We've watched it a few times and have found something different to laugh about each time that we hadn't noticed on previous viewings. Written so well and the acting is absolutely brilliant.
Product in excellent condition - as new. Was a bit more expensive than I would've preferred but, then again, has given us hours of pleasure :)

The people and situations this series (along with the first series) so deftly portrays will strike a note with many who find themselves 'delivering' something! It replaces my sets 1 & 2 of 'The Office', which have now gone to Oxfam. I think it's much, much cleverer and more contemporary - and made me wince just as much! I'm also glad I watched it AFTER the London Olympics were safely 'delivered'!
The language used by some of the characters is particularly cringey! Jessica Hynes, who plays Siobhan Sharpe the 'Head of Brand' deserves a special mention. But all the characters are brilliantly played and completely convincing... unfortunately!

Talk about life imitating art - Twenty Twelve managed to capture all the possible problems in the run up to the games ain a brilliantly funny way.

Gentle but biting humour. And so many laughs in what was left unsaid or just hinted at.
Brilliant performances from everyone.
So uplifting. Assumes the viewer is a higher primate.
And I take some pleasing! I'm from Yorkshire!

Brilliant humour - ridiculous situations but so near the truth. Didn't find the original TV viewing until series 2 so great to catch up with the DVDs.

I loved the first series, and the second is just as good. It, spookily, continues to predict the real-life problems of putting on The Greatest Show On Earth, so could make an excellent alternative souvenier to the Olympics.
