London 2012 Olympics: 100 days celebrations were just another example of life painfully imitating BBC art Seldom has the vapidity of PR-speak been so exquisitely skewered as in the BBC’s Olympics mockumentary, Twenty Twelve.By Oliver Brown8:40AM BST 26 Apr 201 (TELEGRAPH)

Head of brand Siobhan Sharpe’s notion of a 'Jubilympics’ — conflating the Games with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee — is staggeringly inane and yet contains an alarming ring of truth.

Sadly, we must wait until the eve of London 2012 to see a third series on the antics of Ian Fletcher, played with a beautiful careworn nuance by Hugh Bonneville, and his ominously-titled Olympics Deliverance Commission.

For the second tranche of four episodes, brought to a comic peak last week by rapper Mini Steppah’s 'Get It On’ song about sexual health in the Olympic village, reinforced the sense that this programme performed a valuable public service.

While it lacked the caustic bile of The Thick of It, it sought at least to redress the glaring irony deficiency at the heart of Games bureaucracy.
