"Last Gasp" is the fourth episode of the first series of British dark comedy anthology television programme Inside No.9. The story revolves around the birthday of the severely ill Tamsin (Lucy Hutchinson), whose parents arranged for singer Frankie J Parsons (David Bedella) to visit their daughter through the charity WishmakerUK. Frankie dies after blowing up a balloon, leading to arguments between Tamsin's father (Steve Pemberton), WishmakerUK representative Sally (Tamsin Greig, pictured), and Frankie's assistant Si (Adam Deacon) over the now-valuable balloon containing Frankie's last breath. The story, written by Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith, was inspired by someone Pemberton had seen on television who collected air from different places. The episode is more comedic than others in the series, and critiques celebrity culture and human greed. Pemberton subsequently sold a balloon containing his breath on eBay, with proceeds going to a Sport Relief charity.
