Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDaisy Ridley made a very small guest appearance in season 1 in Vanity Project (2013). According to Matt Berry, he wanted to bring her back on the show, but couldn't get in touch with her. It later turned out that she had been cast in Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) recently, which made her unavailable. Berry remarked "We couldn't really compete with Daisy being in Star Wars". Additionally, in season 3 at the very end of Hamm on Toast (2015), Toast and Ed see an article in the newspaper regarding a completely unknown actress, Pookie Hook, with no stage or screen experience that landed a lead role in a Star Wars film. She mentions that she was a great fan of Steven Toast, and Ed suggests that Steven could give her some acting lessons to which Steven says maybe he could.

Featured review
Lets hope its recommissioned!
In an era of comedies that are over-hyped and undercooked Toast of London has, with hardly anyone noticing, delivered the goods. The travails of stage actor and frequent voice over artist Steven Toast are, in the hands of lead actor Matt berry (who also wrote the theme music) and writer Arthur (Father Ted) Mathews a clever mix of parody and pratfall with musical interludes which reveal Toasts world to be populated by colourful grotesques and passing fools. The situations that develop are delightfully eccentric and frankly not easy to describe as so much is down to pure timing, a hand gesture and a thrown look. Suffice to say if you enjoyed the more lunatic, surreal outer reaches of Father Ted you should be ready to try a slice of Toast.
