Jack Dee is the king of deadpan humour. The character he has created in Lead Balloon is brilliantly ghastly. His scheming ambitions inevitably end in excrutiating embarrassment and public humiliation because of his hilarious ineptness. The boxed set of all four series is great value. Lead Balloon is a comedy classic, up there with The Office, Extras,Fawlty Towers and Curb your enthusiasm .

I've only seen Jack Dee in "Live at the Apollo", so I didn't know what to expect from this series.
I am Norwegian and usually we love british humor. And I liked this series, but calling it "the funniest sitcom on British TV" is somehow overrating it...
Some of it is really hillarious :-)

This arrived ahead of schedule. Not seen it all yet, but the first one is quite funny! Looking forward to the rest.

curb your enthusiasm is better
Jack Dee is nothing more than the poor man's Larry David in this desperately unoriginal situational 'comedy'. Read more
