Things are looking up for Matt Berry's thwarted thesp: he's got an audition for a role as Charles Dickens, he's having a not-so-secret affair with Ray Purchase's wife, and there's a further opportunity to humiliate Purchase in the annual "celebrities and prostitutes" blow-football match - if Toast can manage to find an escort in time. Add Boris Johnson and an inspired Clockwork Orange reference and you've got an agreeably daft opener of Berry and Arthur Mathews's chaotic sitcom.

British Comedy Guide, 18th September 2014

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.
