Crazy credits
The sportscaster voiceover before the theme music starts in the intro, "Coe, I think, is gonna get the gold! Coe has beaten Cram! What a marvellous finish! And Seb Coe gets the gold medal!" is from Sebastian Coe's victory over teammate Steve Cram by less than one second in the men's 1500 metres final at the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Games.

The Was Comedy Gold But Very Niche Viewing

Twenty Twelve

This was comedy gold from start to finish. I would of course caveat that by saying that to really understand it you needed to be a Gamesmaker or other employee at the 2012 games.

Either way it was Not entirely unintelligible for those that weren't.

This is perhaps a near perfect mockumentary and as the show progressed the situations really morphed into farce, it was brilliant.

The timing and casting was award winning and this continues with W1A. I think maybe GCHQ would be a good next step lol
