Taking a mini-break from his outrageously below the belt but still achingly funny antics in CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM, that comedy grouch genius with his own unique take on life, Larry David, returns to our screen with a new and well-received one-off film for HBO. CLEAR HISTORY, which aired last month Stateside. clearly has the former shows same kind of spirited humour whilst playing on the What If? scenario that we've all felt from time to time- only when it comes to Larry David you know that angst, anger and classic put-downs, with lots of sexual references, will lift this far above the norm!
David, uniquely hairy this time out, plays Nathan Flomm, a soon disgraced former marketing executive who came up with a great idea regarding the genesis of the electric car, only to years later discover that its been stolen and adapted for the better by his former boss, Will Haney (MAD MEN's Jon Hamm, making a fine entry into comedy), since gone on to become a millionaire and one of the most powerful and influential people in the world. Flomm, with his downtrodden life pretty much come to nothing, having hidden within a new identity, is well and truly madly deeply pissed off by this state of affairs, the old wounds soon resurfacing when his former "buddy" moves to a nearby town. And now he wants to get even!

Made in the same kind of fly-on-the-wall style as CURB, written by the star with buddies Alec Berg, David Mandel and Jeff Schaffer, and with the same kind of stellar supporting cast (Including the likes of Kate Hudson, Michael Keaton, Danny McBride and Eve Mendes, plus CURB's always funny J.B. Smoove, playing a new character in a similar vein, Jaspar), there's no confirmation of a UK airdate yet, but SKY ATLANTIC will surely have it by Christmas time.
