Videos: The Twenty-Twelve Team Attempt Twitter…And Fail

Tonight sees the much-heralded return of the BBC2’s Twenty-Twelve.

Back to take a brazen satirical swipe at the organisational abilities of the Olympic organisation committee are PR plonker Siobhan Sharpe (Jessica Hynes), Graham Hitchens – Head of Infrastructure (Karl Thobald), Nick Jowett – Head of Contracts (Vincent Franklin) and bemused boss Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville).

Joining the team tonight at 10pm on BBC2 will also be new girl Fiona Healey as Head Of Legacy.

A treat for Twitter aficionados ahead of tonight’s launch comes in the shape of a jumbled Twitter feed from the aforementioned team of incapable lunatics. Our beloved Olympics Deliverance Committee has joined the social network in a bid to involve the public in “all the build-upâ€? to the games but, as usual, it doesn’t quite go according to plan.

Expect a cameo from Boris Johnson and even a one-liner from Lord Sebastian Coe…
