About this deal

He has some unpleasant traits,” Leech says, “but you always feel for him because he’s a loser and everybody loves a loser. He’s like Eddie the Eagle.” Matt Berry with Kayvan Novak in What We Do in the Shadows; Novak appears in Toast of Tinseltown as anger management coach, Des Wigwam (Photo: FX Networks/ BBC) He believes he should be the new James Bond,” says Berry. “He is convinced he could do a better job than anyone else.”

What’s next for the character? Berry hopes that the series will run and run, although, of course, the future for Toast will be exactly the same as the present – blighted by bitter disappointment. Sandi Toksvig: 'I'm distressed by anti-trans 'radical feminists'' 23 November, 2023 Opinion | How Bob Mortimer became a millennial hero 21 November, 2023 Russell Kane: 'When you come from a council estate you have no shame' 15 November, 2023 Berry has the time of his life playing Toast. With his wonderfully rich, mellifluous voice, he swills each syllable around his mouth and spits it out as though it were a glass of the 2017 Patient Cottat Sancerre Anciennes Vignes Sancerre that Orson Welles offers Toast in the scene I watch them film (the deceased director, played by impressionist Lewis Macleod, is inexplicably a wine shop owner). “He’s great fun to play because you can be as ridiculous as you want and encourage every other actor to be equally ridiculous.”It’s a full primary school education or the distance of an entire adolescence since Toast was last on our screens,” says the show’s writer Arthur Mathews on the set of the show, which in keeping with the title character’s world of unfulfilled expectations, is filmed in Harlesden, north-west London. “But he’s learned nothing.” Tinseltown is certainly a new playground for Toast – and a new place for him to endure ritual humiliation on a weekly basis. The joy of Toast is that – unlike an American sitcom character – he never wins. “He’s self-deluded and keeps tripping himself up,” agrees Berry.

It is this friction between the characters that creates comic sparks. “Some actors come in and say: ‘I can’t be this horrible to Toast’,” Berry says. “And I have to tell them, ‘look, the more horrible you are, the funnier it is’.” A lot of people I’ve met on jobs have lots of Steven Toast in them, and I’ve always found them really funny,” he says. “When I’m doing voiceovers and other actors lose their temper, I’m mentally taking notes. I’m thinking, ‘great, I can get something out of this. Come on, be angrier. This is gold!’” He refuses to name names.
