Hugh Bonneville, Jessica Hynes, Amelia Bullmore and Olivia Colman star in this new comedy following the challenges – both personal and professional – faced by the team responsible for delivering the biggest show on Earth.

The only problem is that the clock has a potentially disastrous design flaw which no one seems to have noticed until it’s too late…
Meanwhile, the process of deciding which public figures should be approached to carry the Olympic Torch on its journey around Britain has begun, and head of deliverance Ian Fletcher (Bonneville) discovers that he is going on a romantic mini-break with his wife, whether he likes it or not…
