BBC America has announced that they will air BBC Two mockumentary series, Twenty Twelve, ahead of the London 2012 Olympics.
The show – which is narrated by David Tennant (Doctor Who) and stars the likes of Hugh Bonneville (Downton Abbey), Jessica Hynes (Spaced) and Olivia Colman (Peep Show) – follows the people paddling hard beneath the water to make the Olympics happen in London in 2012. They have £9 billion to spend and plenty of time before the deadline; what can possibly go wrong?
Twenty Twelve joins the likes of The Graham Norton Show, The Thick of It, Katy Brand’s Big Ass Show, The Inbetweeners, Would You Rather…? with Graham Norton, Come Fly with Me, Outnumbered and Friday Night Dinner to be broadcast on the channel.
Twenty Twelve premieres on Saturday 30th June – just weeks before the opening ceremony on July 27th – as part of BBC America‘s ‘Ministry of Laughs’.
