Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Fans of Matt Berry saying the word "yes" in a loud voice will be heartened to discover that the sitcom that harnesses his powers more potently than anything since The IT Crowd is returning for a second series. A full-throated, over-enunciated riot - and they'll probably try to get everyone they know to watch it, just to make sure there's also a series three.

Radio Times review

Did anyone expect Toast of London to get a second series? Not only was Matt Berry's rumbling, randy thespian a ratings wallflower (under half a million viewers), but it was so creatively out-there, it made Man Down look like Terry and June. A Nigerian girlfriend whose plastic surgery has left her looking like Bruce Forsyth? A punch-up on a nuclear submarine? A demented beak-keeper (not a bee-keeper, a beak-keeper)? No other show would even attempt any of these, but they all delivered huge, left-field laughs and earnt Toast a big cult following. Roll on series two.
