Toast of Tinseltown

Toast heads to Hollywood, landing a part in the new star wars movie, but until that time he has to make his way, that involves acting, training and of course voice overs.

Overall, I quite enjoyed it, in real terms, it's taken me almost eighteen months to watch the complete series, there is something in that, whereas the original series I have seen many times over.

The best thing about Toast of Tinseltown of course is Matt Berry, and he is great, if the show comes back I'd love to see the setting switch back to The UK, I'm not quite sure The Hollywood setting works.

There are several funny scenes throughout, but I'd argue the best of them come with the show's originals, Ed, Ray Purchase, Danny Bear and of course the wonderful Clem Fandango. There are some big names to watch out for, I'm not sure they help drive the humour, or are simply there as a big name, make your own minds up.

It's surreal, it's even more off the scale than the original series, sometimes it works, sometimes, like in the fifth episode, it's just baffling.

I get why some raved about it, and why some hated it, in the scale of when it was made and how, it's decent.

7/10.

I love Toast, so more is great.

Preferred the "In London" episodes, but was good to see Toast in another locale.

Was so funny, the Shakespeare scene -- "Is he English?

Hope to see more Toast, back in London with his usual buddies -- and Mr and Mrs Ray Purchase!

Deffo worth watching this series for Toast fans! "Yes I can hear you..."

ToT sees the return of Steven Toast in a new setting - sort of.

The original Toast of London was pure genius and the best comedy I've seen on tv in the last decade. Well, Steven is back but this time he's across the pond - as the title implies - with some of the old supporting cast but quite a few new faces too, some of whom in my opinion work, some don't.

Matt Berry and all the old cast still sparkle but there a few too many dud performances amongst the new faces to make this quite as good as the original series, which is a shame.

Head back to London Toast, you're missed :)

What's with the one star and ten star reviews?! If it's "I liked it, ten stars," why are we using a 10-point system? It's not a 1 star show either, man, sheesh. It's thoughtful and humorous, and has Larry David appear in the first two minutes. Come on. Ten stars tho? How about saving that for something transcendent and amazing and, well, perfect... I always enjoy Stephen Toast (and pretty much anything Matt Barry is in) so I'm biased in giving it an 8, but if you like absurd, exaggerated comedy- aka British humor- it's probably worth your time.

The Toast Of Tinseltown ..

Matt Berry leads the cast as the washed up, flaky thespian on the search for work more interesting than voice-over work, that appears to be matched with his limited skills.

He pursues his particular brand of quirky surreal situation comedy and it's a winning and inventive formula.

I'm giving this a firm 8 outta 10.
