DESCRIPCIÓN DEL PRODUCTO
Jack Dee returns as world-weary stand-up Rick Spleen in all 8 episodes from the second series of this critically acclaimed comedy. Rick Spleen is back *- and as he will tell you,* he's on the way up,* his career is going from strength to strength and he's never been so popular. In other words,* he's still the same old self-deluded liar,* making a reasonable living as a C-list celebrity,* appearing on low-rent chat shows,* performing stand-up at second-rate business bashes and generally hoping for the big break. Luckily,* when he's not handing out awards at the Furniture Manufacturers' Conference or being featured as the face of Bar Lizard Peanuts,* there's plenty to preoccupy Rick *- from the points on his driving licence to the shadowy hitman he is convinced is on his tail. On the domestic front,* Rick struggles to cope with a bedridden Mel,* their daughter Sam and her boyfriend Ben constantly cadging money,* and a resignation from the ever morose housekeeper Magda. He gets no help from his quick-talking American writing partner Marty or the local café owner Michael,* whose grasp on reality seems to be getting ever looser. * All this and a run-in with a children's entertainer famous for his giant inflatable spanner... *"Clever,* classy and expertly crafted"--Daily Mail *"One of the funniest homegrown sitcoms of recent years"--Daily Express *"Beautifully timed,* morose comedy"--Sunday Times *"A just about flawless half hour of delightfully miserablist comedy"--Daily Telegraph
