Twenty Twelve is morbidly fascinating?

I am finding this BBC2 series an absolute hoot. Is anyone else enjoying it?

I saw it for the first time last night and thought it absolutely great! I wonder what Lord Coe thinks of it all. Some of it rings true from what I understand eg the toilet situation. I thought that soooo funny. The meeting at Clarence House was a classic - someone being taken seriously for using nothing but cliches. That and the 47 page strategy document - I just happen to be wading through someone's strategy document....... grin

I enjoy Twenty Twelve very much.-echoes of 'Yes Minister'.
Is it a new series or a repeat? I find Hugh Bonneville so funny - especially after his straight role in Downton Abbey

This is series 2 - used to be on BBC4 and now new series moved to BBC2. Love it!

Completely bonkers, completely wonderful and completely believable. Love it. Also love HB (goes without saying) and the oh-so-thick PR girl.

Love it. It reminds me of our Comms people in the company I work for. Usually talk drivel! grin

Apparently the real committee work in the building where they film, but a few floors up. If they meet in the lift very suspicious looks are exchanged!
