British Comedy Guide, 4th February 2019Stath Lets Flats to return for Series 2
Stath Lets Flats, the Channel 4 sitcom written by and starring Jamie Demetriou, is to return for a second series.
British Comedy Guide, 15th January 2019Created by Jamie Demetriou (and co-written by Robert "Friday Night Dinner" Popper), this new comedy set in the lettings agency world looks highly promising. Demetriou stars as Stath, desperate to prove himself to his Greek-Cypriot father but hampered by his incompetence and impulsive behaviour, which tonight includes borderline physical assault on a client. Much of the comedy rings all too true, particularly on the subject of the dismal state of London properties to let for the thick end of two grand.

A fixer-upper with potential.
Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 27th June 2018Stath Lets Flats, Channel 4, review
Roared along with energy and absurdity, like London's property market.
Elisa Bray, i Newspaper, 27th June 2018Robert Popper's sitcom about the shambolic Goodman family and their attempts to have a quiet Shabbat dinner continues. Martin uncovers an old ventriloquist's dummy and begins wreaking havoc. Plus, a guest joins the bambinos in the form of Jonny's friend Ben (Liam Williams), who has just been dumped.
