Josh Homme

It's been an eventful second series for Matt Berry's failing thesp, which has included acting in high wind, masonic cults and, in last week's final episode, a guest appearance from Queens Of The Stone Age frontman Josh Homme. Toast will be back for a third anarchic outing next year, while in the meantime newcomers can enjoy the full first two runs on 4OD.

Toast of London, Channel 4 - TV review

Matt Berry has been nominated in six categories at this year's British Comedy Awards, so any gripe about last night's Toast of London series finale (Channel 4) will soon be drowned out by applause. Here's my gripe, anyway: Josh Homme's cameo in "Fool in Love" was exactly the sort of pointless, "meet my famous chums" name-dropping that Toast of London usually skewers so mercilessly. It made for a disappointingly dull denouement to the best sitcom on television.

In the last in the series, Toast is knocked very much for six by the arrival of an old flame, Lorna Wynde, more than three decades after she broke his heart when the pair starred in a US soap together. But is she just using him to make her rock star husband jealous? Tormented by feelings from the past, Toast takes up with his very-much-alive chum Francis Bacon. Sterling guest appearances come from Queens Of The Stone Age's Josh Homme and The League of Gentlemen's Steve Pemberton.

Radio Times review

Steven Toast is in turmoil - the greatest love of his life, Lorna Wynde, is appearing in The Graduate on the London stage. Toast has never recovered from their break-up, after which he had an unfortunate accident in Oddbins.

The best bits of the final, typically uneven episode are the masterly pastiches of dreadful 1980s American soaps. Toast (Matt Berry) and Wynde (Morgana Robinson) starred together in one such atrocity, but it put an end to her TV career as she went cross-eyed in close-ups.

Steve Pemberton, soon to be seen in Mapp and Lucia on BBC One, plays a very effete Francis Bacon and Josh Homme, lead singer of rock band Queens of the Stone Age, guests as Lorna's jealous husband.
