Did you know
- TriviaDaisy Ridley made a very small guest appearance in season 1 in Vanity Project (2013). According to Matt Berry, he wanted to bring her back on the show, but couldn't get in touch with her. It later turned out that she had been cast in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) recently, which made her unavailable. Berry remarked "We couldn't really compete with Daisy being in Star Wars". Additionally, in season 3 at the very end of Hamm on Toast (2015), Toast and Ed see an article in the newspaper regarding a completely unknown actress, Pookie Hook, with no stage or screen experience that landed a lead role in a Star Wars film. She mentions that she was a great fan of Steven Toast, and Ed suggests that Steven could give her some acting lessons to which Steven says maybe he could.

Featured review
This glorious sitcom follows the life of Steven Toast. An actor and voice over actor that's somewhat of an underachiever, a little unlucky in life, he finds himself in some surreal situations. He has a definite eye for the ladies, and is supported in everyday life by his brother (and housemate) Ed and his agent Jane Plough. He often finds himself at loggerheads with his nemesis an fellow artiste Ray Purchase, caused by indiscretions with Ray's wife.
I have loved this show since the very fist episode, Matt Berry is just wonderful, a truly creative mind, he truly delivers and does not fail to disappoint. I love the character of Toast, he's such a cool guy, I love the hair. He's physically very funny too.
There are some fabulous performances, Clem Fandango and Jane Plough are both class, total caricatures, they are hilarious.
The guest performances are awesome too, Peter Davison is just brilliant. One of my favourites is from Stanley Townsend as Mr Fasili, the man has the most beautiful voice I have ever heard.
It's a great show, so surreal in many ways, the musical interludes are great, it is class! 10/10
