Lead Balloon - Series 4

Jack Dee returns as failed stand-up and serial liar Rick Spleen. Life hasn't got any easier for Rick: his wife Mel is still more successful than him; his writer Marty is still funnier than him; even his home-help Magda manages to be grumpier than him.

In this, the fourth series, Rick's career hits an all-time low - even by his own dismal standards. From public humiliation on live TV to private embarrassment at a Comedy Workshop, it seems that everything Rick touches turns to mould.

It all culminates in a special two-hander episode co-starring Robbie Coltrane who plays a knife-wielding prisoner with a pathological hatred of liars. When Rick is taken hostage in the prison library, it's the perfect storm.

  Good as ever!
  
  Well, it's more of the same from Rick Spleen and co in the Fourth and apparent final series of the show. Full of laughs, cringe-worthy moments & the ... read more »
