Series 2, Episode 2 - Desperate Measures
Further details
After Ray Purchase snitches on him to the 'Tax People', Toast receives a massive bill. He is forced to do some particularly unattractive jobs to pay off the amount, including an advertisement directed by belligerent director Norris Flipjack, a similarly distasteful campaign for African cigarettes, and playing a wizard in a Harry Potter show.
However, an offer to appear in the hit show Calendar Girls presents an exciting new career opportunity after the show's director and producer meet a sticky end.
Guest starring John Nettles OBE as himself.
