Following the success of 'Twenty Twelve' that was spoof satire of a team helping to organise the 2012 London Olympic Games, W1A premiered last year and featured two of the main characters as they helped out in the running of the BBC. Ian Fletcher (Hugh Bonneville), formerly the Head of the Olympic Deliverance Commission, took up the position of Head of Values at the BBC. His task is to clarify, define, or re-define the core purpose of the BBC across all its functions and to position it confidently for the future. Siobhan Sharpe (Jessica Hynes) also returned as the Brand Consultant. David Tennant also helped return to narrate the mockumentary.

The series returns for it's second series tonight with a one hour long episode that will be followed by two half-hour episodes in the following two weeks.

A one-hour special marks the return of the award-winning comedy about the BBC. One year on and head of values Ian Fletcher has finally got his own office. He and the team have a new set of challenges to rise to, including the impending royal visit of HRH Prince Charles. The question is, which of the management team will get to shake the royal hand?

Head of BBC brand Siobhan Sharpe and her team at Perfect Curve have been tasked with giving a makeover to the BBC coverage of Wimbledon following rumours of a bid from a rival broadcaster. Her response is a brand mash-up to end all brand mash-ups.

Meanwhile, over on the creative frontline, entertainment-format producer David Wilkes is trying to come up with the next big factual-entertainment series after Britain's Tastiest Village failed to fly. He's got the title - Up Town, Down Town - he just hasn't got a show or a cast.

Finally, intern Will Humphries's security pass won't let him into the building. Is it a technical problem or something more significant?

The series recently hit headlines as it includes a segment about Jeremy Clarkson getting himself into trouble, that was written before the fracas occured. Watch out for a smart edit that resulted from this real-life fallout.
