TV comedy is still pretty poor these days, particularly on the main channels, so it is good to see Lead Balloon back for a third series.Jack Dee plays a comedy script writer who is very self-centred and tries to manoeuvre thinks in his favour but they do not just go wrong, they go seriously wrong.
But while Rick's inevitable downfall gives structure to the programmes, the comedy comes from Jack Dee's dead-pan delivery of very funny lines, which is how he got famous in the first place.
Lead Balloon is a hidden gem that keeps those of us who have discovered it seriously amused. Try it.
