In “preparation” for the 2012 Olympics in London, the BBC put together a “documentary show” titled Twenty Twelve.  It followed a dysfunctional version of the London Olympic organizing team during the five hundred days leading to the games opening ceremonies.

The show has some good moments, but two episodes stand out the most to me.  One, from series two, was about sustainability and the planting of a tree.  The other, from series one, involved the visiting team from Rio and one long, unfortunate bus ride.  Here are two clips from the episode, the first involving what happens when you forget obtaining a gift for your guests.

The episode builds well, particularly with the deadpan translator, who also gets a great moment in this clip, when the team misses the exit to the Olympic stadium.
