Toast of Tinseltown

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.

I love Matt Berrys work. While I agree this was not as funny as Toast of London I still really enjoyed this series. It's a totally different type of funny; it's silly, it's inoffensive and has some great laugh out loud moments. I especially enjoy Toasts over pronunciation of words such as Mo-t-ion Picture and Tele-vizzz-ion (tv). I look forward to the next series and hope Toast made it out alive.

It's a good show, it certainly has some very funny moment's. Matt Berry is great once again as Steven Toast. If you like Toast of London you should enjoy it.

Toast of London is the better show for sure, but this is a worthy follow up.

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 :)

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.
