Jack Dee on Paul Weller, The Jam and the story behind Lead Balloon’s theme tune...

On this episode my guest is one of Britain’s most distinctive
comedians, an award-winning stand-up, actor, writer, and the
creator of the brilliant TV sitcom, Lead Balloon.


Jack Dee has always had a sharp wit, a dry
outlook, and as it turns out, a deep, long-standing admiration
for both Paul Weller and his music.


In this episode, a snippet of the interview recorded for my
upcoming book, Jack shares how The Jam gave him an ‘alibi’ in the
late seventies, his surreal moments sharing a bill with Weller,
and how a Paul Weller track ended up as the theme tune to his hit
sitcom. We also explore the parallels between comedy and music,
his admiration for Weller’s constant evolution, and a few
unforgettable encounters along the way.
