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.

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.

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.

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 :)

A continuation of Toast of London - the same disorder continues into Tinseltown. One-off episode characters are good additions as the contrast between the UK and US can be mocked, but the new characters that span the series are simply irritating. Repeated jokes and callbacks, Toast is an excellent character in the new setting, and whilst still not hilarious, certainly amusing and wacky enough for easy entertainment.
