Having a good day? Calm and happy with the world? That isn't right. Here - my gift of a small irritant.
For my Aussie friends and lovers of the comedy stylings of John Clarke, I offer the following from The Guardian: It is a distinctly British way to celebrate London holding the 2012 Olympic games – make a mock doc about the organising committee behind them. Twenty Twelve, which lands on BBC4 tonight with its tongue firmly in its cheek and People Like Us writer/director John Morton at the helm, is the latest mockumentary to raise a giggle. Full article here.
Before you rush to tell the makers of The Games, they already know and it is worse than it first appears.
ETA: Have now seen episode 1 of Twenty Twelve - it is pretty well done, but seeing it will not allay the suggestion of ripoff. It will do the other thing really.
