Toast of Tinseltown
BBC TWO, 10PM; NOT NI
The absurdly pompous Steven Toast (Matt Berry) endures more humiliations in Berry and Arthur Mathews’s surreal cult comedy. Things look up initially when Toast lands both a date with glamorous sexologist Shepherd Jerbil (Gina Bellman) and a role in a Hollywood movie. But he soon once again becomes the agent of his own downfall. It’s an acquired taste, but for those jibing with its heightened tone and riotously over-drawn characters, it’s joyous.
