Hosting the 2012 Olympics is a big deal for London, as evidenced by this comedy series, originally broadcast by the BBC, which follows the Olympic Deliverance team -- the people tasked with having the two-week event go off without a problem. The team has plenty of time before the deadline and 9 billion pounds to spend, so what could possibly go wrong? The team members do their best to get to the end of the day, the end of the week and, hopefully, the end of the Olympics without everything coming undone. Can they do it?

As a style of film and television, the mockumentary is great at portraying the multiple .faces of a character Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 06/28/2012
Biting satire this isn't. It's nibbling satire, delivered by Garra Rufa fish. Go to Full Review MaryAnn Johanson Flick Filosopher 09/03/2020
[F]airly terrifying... this hardly seems like parody, and it's easy to imagine that the actual work going on to mount the London Games looks pretty much like this. It's all so slyly underplayed that less cynical viewers may not even see it as satire... Go to Full Review Matt Roush TV Guide 06/28/2012

The best lines come from Hynes and Theobold, whose quirky characters are funny mostly because they remind us of people we know. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
