Lead Balloon - Series 2 - Sick

Logo for Lead Balloon - Series 2 - Sick

Rick's partner Mel is confined to bed with flu. He offers to field her work calls, but soon finds himself spectacularly out of his depth. In any case, he would rather be working on Lying Or Flying, the game show idea that he and Marty are trying to pitch to a broadcaster. Magda too is ill, but insists on turning up with some of her special home-made soup for Mel. Meanwhile, Michael is holding a Third World Awareness Day at his cafe, and Sam and Ben try to persuade Rick to buy a T-shirt for the same cause. But it's one of Mel's clients who provides Rick with the biggest headache.
