Twenty Twelve was brilliant-the follow up less so
Twenty twelve (also reviewed) was IMO the best comedy since the first series of I'm Alan Partridge. When i heard this semi follow up (the two main characters return) I was apprehensive as to whether the dynamics would remain in a different setting with different characters. Having seen the first two episodes my apprehension was confirmed, This time the script writers poke fun at the inner workings of the BBC and while it remains funny in parts the characters this time round seem too stupid to be remotely believable. The Hynes character whilst pretty much ott in twenty twelve but still funny to watch this time is a parody. Vincent Franklin is badly missed in this follow up. Will watch the final two episodes in the hope of seeing better things but wont hold my breath at this stagescore 5/10
