Storyline
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
Greatest comedy ever?
This needs a series 4 this year. It really does. I first saw Matt Berry on the house of fools show, and saw him in the BAFTA's for this show.
Now, the absolute brilliance of this show. ALL of the characters fit in perfectly. What I think I like about this show is that the entire cast consists of secondary characters, all made to revolve around the single main character: Steven Toast.
It seems that the true comedy from Toast comes from his reaction to all the manic events around him.
For example, in certain scenes, Steven Toast wouldn't be half as funny if the secondary characters were replaced.
I think it is just the way Steven Toast deals with things with his incredibly out of place and eccentric personality makes it all the better. He treats it almost as if it is just normal. And his unpredictability always takes you by surprise, and always gets you laughing.
