Watch an exclusive sneak peek of the acclaimed new comedy series TWENTY TWELVE, starring Downton Abbey star Hugh Bonneville, before the premiere *** Thursday June 28 at 9/8c *** Presented by BBC America’s Ministry of Laughs.
Here, Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville), head of the 2012 London Olympics Planning Committee and his constantly vague & flustered head of Brand Siobhan (Jessica Hynes, Spaced) visit their web design firm to check-in on progress for the 2012 Games website relaunch.
Sure, time is running short – but not to worry: Barney, the head of the Online team, has got it covered. There’s “Bloggy stuff” over here, “Newsie stuff” there and a “live webcam situation going on here.” Wait, what about the 1,000 days to go clock?
Take it away, Siobhan: “Okay, okay, um, okay, so, the thing with the clock is, okay, um, here’s the thing with the clock, okay the great thing about the clock…” This could take a while!
