Product Description

Product Description

Jack Dee stars as Rick Spleen, a successful but world-weary stand-up comedian who spends too much of his time hosting corporate events.

He and Marty, his American co-writer, spend their days arguing, drinking too much coffee, and devising work avoidance strategies.

Further distractions are provided by Magda, Rick’s home help, his show-biz agent wife Mel, their teenage daughter Sam and her feckless boyfriend Ben.

This box set contains all 27 episodes plus loads of extras

5.0 out of 5 starsFunniest series on TV
By hans sachs on 5 Aug. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
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 .

5.0 out of 5 starsGotta love Jack / Rick :D
By Luxera on 12 Sept. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Jack Dee is a grumpy old man. In Lead balloon he plays the character of a grumpy old man - to perfection. This box is a winner for the dreary evenings when nothing is on the telly. And as that is rather often, I find that an escape to the world of Rick Spleen, and his petty little problems are just what the humor doctor ordered. But if you can't handle sarcasm, I wouldn't get it. On the other hand, if you can't handle sarcasm - you wouldn't consider anything with Jack Dee in it anyway

5.0 out of 5 starsPure genius.
By Paya on 7 Jun. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Had seen little fragments of episodes from this and thought it was funny enough so decided to buy the whole box set and I have to say this is one of the funniest TV shows I've ever seen, Jack Dee has created a hilarious character and the whole cast is just genius, the foreign house maid, the quick witted writer, the slow, dim-witted daughter's boyfriend and the more-successful-than-him wife, they just work perfectly together. Just incredible, can't recommend this enough.

5.0 out of 5 starsclassic comedy
By SG Blackledge on 15 Dec. 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
For anyone who is a fan of Jack Dee and his deadpan style of humour, this is a must have. Far better than a lot of the so called comedy that is being shown today.

4.0 out of 5 starsHe needs a good slap!
By Chunky Monkey TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 6 Jan. 2016
Format: DVD
Rick Spleen, semi-successful comedian, full time mr grumpy and generally awful person. It's hard to like Jack Dee's character in this because, basically, he's not likeable. His miserable, misanthropic persona, of his stand up, is given full reign here and is also allowed to be selfish and cowardly. It's quite brave of Dee really, because his character is not sympatheic in the least. His warm intelligent, endlessly forgiving partner (Raquel Cassidy), wouldn't be with a man like this, would she?
Anyway, it's beautifully written and acted, particularly the supporting cast who pretty much steal the show. (Magda, the "cleaner" along with his daughter and her boyfriend, and cafe owner, Michael, are great).
I didn't find it laugh out loud funny, but it's wry, witty and clever, with a few "David Brent" moments slong the way. No laughter track. Recommended.

4.0 out of 5 starsBritish comedy
By Grethe on 8 Sept. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
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 :-)

I enjoyed this series on the telly but loved it even more with the luxury of watching a few episodes at a time on dvd. Top acting, sharp script - and no annoying canned laughter -(it's very funny so I know when to laugh without being told thanks!)

Excellent box set and so so funny!!! Loved it when it was on TV however had not seen all the episodes so was a real treat to find new ones. All the characters are very funny and it is just great to watch.
Would definitely recommend.

LMAO funny. The au-pair Magda (Amanda Crilley) is the star as are the hapless teenagers. Jack Dee is just Jack Dee. Highly recommended.
