Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Lead Balloon is a Brit Com on BBC Two starring Jack Dee as Rick Spleen, a successful yet disillusioned stand-up comedian and serial liar. It follows the exploits of hapless Spleen as he searches through life for a crumb of comfort, his habit of pathological lying frequently digging him into holes, alongside his partner Mel, writing partner Marty, unmotivated daughter Sam, her boyfriend Ben, local café owner Michael, and Eastern European cleaner Magda. | |

Bottle Episode | |
| Lead Balloon / int_62907b90 | comment |
Bottle Episode: The penultimate episode of the show features a grand total of two characters: Rick and a surprisingly pleasant psychopath called Donald, played by Robbie Coltrane. Two journalists turn up after the credits, but it's a two-hander through and through. | |

Bolivian Army Ending | |
| Lead Balloon / int_79a0e313 | comment |
Bolivian Army Ending: Series 4 (currently intended to be the last) ends with Rick's career seemingly being ended for good, but all we see is the photograph of him accidentally punching Clive's wheelchair-bound mother in the face on the front page of a tabloid. | |
