Trivia
Daisy 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 : Épisode VII - Le Réveil de la Force (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.

Unique and totally unpredictable

The humour is so outrageous and insane (similar to an earlier series which Matt Berry was involved with The Mighty Boosh) that you can't help but laugh. Every week you get another 30 minute long helping of Steven Toast's failing acting career which has a minute possibility of working out, but this is the same show that featured a book publisher spontaneously com busting so anything can happen. One of the best and funniest comedy series from the last 5 years, Toast of London is brilliant entertainment. And much better than the hugely overrated BBC series Mrs Browns Boys which seems to be the only comedy show which gets good viewing figures nowadays.
