QUARANTINE STREAMS: | Toast of London

Some British comedies are so silly they may be a specialized taste. These are the best ones.

I come late to Steven Toast, a famous and oily actor of some airs, created by Matt Berry years ago. His agent has him doing voice overs, well beneath his imagined celebrity.

There are only 19 half hours of Toast of London, done for Channel Four. They are inspired. All  cruel, foul-mouthed and delightfully dirty.

Above, a 10-minute clip tease for the series.

For many Stratford actors, it will be like looking into a mirror. Charmed, I'm sure.

"Did you hear what happened to Kate Middleton on her wedding night?" asks an alarmed character on Toast.
  "She was held against her will."
