Michael & Eagle is dragged into a lettings agency flame war when a rival company starts burning their signs and half-inching their keys. As the battle rages, Stath is tasked with proving his bravery, while his sister Sophie embarks on a risky romance that drags her into the fray. Gloriously garbled, silly and surreal comedy.

The sitcom renaissance has arrived

Shows like Channel 4's Stath Lets Flats show audiences can care about the half-hour format - it just needs specificity.

Why Stath Lets Flats is the funniest show on television

Coupling classic sitcom humour with the absurdist spirit of shitposting, Stath Lets Flats is the UK's best new comedy.

Sitcoms are loved, rather than enjoyed, when they have heart as well as laughs. Jamie Demetriou's cartoonish tour of a north London lettings agency always has some yearning beneath the clowning, which comes out tonight as Al (Al Roberts) and Sophie (Natasia Demetriou) almost, agonisingly, move in together.

The Bafta-nominated letting agent comedy Stath Lets Flats returned, as unapologetically daft as ever. It's co-created by siblings Jamie and Natasia Demetriou, who play another pair of siblings, idiotic Stath and dopey Sophie (it took me a while to recognise Natasia as Nadja, the minxish vampire from What We Do in the Shadows).

Stath Lets Flats sticks to a retro sitcom format, with plenty of gags and physical comedy from the desperate, delusional Stath. He yearns to impress his father (Christos Stergioglou) enough to take over the family business, but thus far has been foiled by the brash new manager (Dustin Demri-Burns), and Stath's bitchy, ambitious former fling Carole (Katy Wix).

There's a side-plot involving a flirtation between Sophie and her bashful colleague, Al (Alastair Roberts), which could yet turn into the greatest filing cabinet-flanked romance since Tim and Dawn in The Office. For now, most of the comedy revolves around Stath's innate stupidity - on finding out that Carole was "preggo", he gasped: "Are you the mother?" Well, I laughed.

Creator-star Jamie Demetriou is too busy being daft to labour the topical satire angle but, now in its second series, this lettings agency sitcom is bang on the millennial moment, while Stath is already an all-time classic character. Every syllable he utters is a precious gem of north London gobbledy-Greek. Bless you.

Jamie Demetriou: show 'is about everything but Brexit'

The writer and actor chats to Ellie Harrison about Greekness, hipsters and why no one on Love Island calls anyone out for talking crap - 'because they're all talking crap'
