DVD review: Twenty Twelve

Published on 05/08/2012 00:00

What is it? Hugh Bonneville, Jessica Hynes and more star in the BBC’s spoof documentary about the preparations for London 2012 – both series are getting a swift DVD release tomorrow while the Olympics are still on.

Twenty Twelve

2Entertain, £24.99

What we said: “Downton Abbey’s Hugh Bonneville has much more fun in the excellent comedy Twenty Twelve, where he’s trying to make the Olympics happen while dealing with divorce. He’s getting his secretary to pick out furniture for his new flat, unaware she’s secretly in love with him (“So, Sally, the bedroom...”). Yes, Ian/Sally is one of TV’s great unspoken office romances.”
