Fantastic. Takes over where 2012 left off, this time taking the Micky out of the BBC

Great look on Hugh Boneville's when he meets up with Jessica Hynes again.

Maybe it's a London thing but i didn't find any of it particular funny at all.

Then again if I worked for the BBC i might have been hysterical with amusement

Really enjoyed that, it was very good a conveying the sense of complete and utter confusion that the Ian Fletcher character was going through.

Just watched on iPlayer, I really enjoyed 2012, this was just as good, even removing the BBC reference, it's a great play on upper management incompetence and bullst.

I loved 2012, and so far I love this just as much.

Brilliantly scripted. Very good so far and a worthy sequel to Twenty Twelve.
"Yeah no, yeah, sorry?"
The only thing I find uncomfortable about it is, much like The Office when that first appeared, a lot of it is scarily accurate.

I think it's quite complimentary to the bbc, I expect they are like the program times10 - totally in it to make jobs up and over complicate stuff.

What worries me is that the BBC is actually worse.

Thought so too. As good as 2012.

I've worked a lot at the BBC and it's a cringe, as it gets pretty close to the mindset.
