A balloon containing the breath of Steve Pemberton!


The award-winning actor and comedy writer from League of Gentleman and Psychoville is back with a new BBC comedy Inside No 9 and he’s giving up a hilarious prop from one of the episodes.

Get your hands on a lovely purple balloon which genuinely contains the award-winning breath of comedy writer/actor Steve Pemberton! Watch this clip to confirm the balloon’s provenance:

In addition, Steve will chuck in a special signed poster for Last Gasp, the episode of Inside No. 9 in which the balloon appears, signed by himself and fellow writer Reece Shearsmith.

Last Gasp takes a darkly humorous look at the value we place on objects associated with celebrities. The question is: what value do you place on them?

Watch the episode on BBC Two at 10pm on 26th February 2014.
