Friday Night Dinner creator denies series end rumours

Simon Bird, who plays Adam, recently suggested that the upcoming sixth series was "probably the end" of the show - even more upsetting for loyal viewers than when Wilson died. But we have good news! Speaking to RadioTimes.com, series creator/writer Robert Popper has suggested that Friday Night Dinner might not be ending after all.

Stath Lets Flats to return for Series 2

Stath Lets Flats, the Channel 4 sitcom written by and starring Jamie Demetriou, is to return for a second series.

British Comedy Guide, 15th January 2019

Created by Jamie Demetriou (and co-written by Robert "Friday Night Dinner" Popper), this new comedy set in the lettings agency world looks highly promising. Demetriou stars as Stath, desperate to prove himself to his Greek-Cypriot father but hampered by his incompetence and impulsive behaviour, which tonight includes borderline physical assault on a client. Much of the comedy rings all too true, particularly on the subject of the dismal state of London properties to let for the thick end of two grand.

Stath Lets Flats, Channel 4, review

A fixer-upper with potential.

Tristram Fane Saunders, The Telegraph, 27th June 2018

Stath Lets Flats, Channel 4, review

Roared along with energy and absurdity, like London's property market.
