Lead Balloon

Lead Balloon is a BBC Four original programme created by Open Mike Productions and produced by the British production company. Comedy duo Jack Dee and Pete Sinclair are behind the show's creation and co-writing. A bitter and misanthropic comic named Rick Spleen stars in the film, which chronicles his life of small annoyances, disappointments, and embarrasses. Additionally, Sean Power, Raquel Cassidy, and Tony Gardner star. It premiered on BBC Four in 2006 with the highest ratings for a comedy on the channel, with the first episode having the maximum number of viewers. BBC Two and BBC HD aired reruns of the series, making it more accessible to a wider audience. In November2007, BBC Two broadcast an eight-episode second season, and in November2008, a third series began showing. The fourth and last series premiered on BBC Two on May 31 and aired through July5, 2011. Critics have drawn parallels between Lead Balloon and the hugely popular American comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm, and have praised the show's characters, particularly Eastern European housekeeper Magda. Series one was made available for home video purchase in November of 2007. The show's theme song is a cover of Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller's "One Way Road."
