Toast of London: Yes, I can hear you, Clem Fandango

April 9, 2018 9:50 PM - Season 1 (Full Season)

From imdb: "Steven Toast, an eccentric middle aged actor with a chequered past, spends more time dealing with his problems off stage than performing on it." This is a wonderfully goofy and absurd show.

I stumbled upon this British comedy while wandering around Netflix; I recognized Matt Berry from IT Crowd and Garth Marenghi’s Dark Place and watched the first episode. He’s a clownish buffoon. I like him more here than on IT Crowd.

All three seasons are on Netflix; we might stick to season one here.

Matt Berry is great at voice overs so makes sense his best TV appearance would be him playing a voice actor.

Can you hear me Steven?

Basically, every episode of star trek discovery had me yelling "Yes I can hear you Clem Fandango" at Ash / Voq.
That is all.

Well, now I want to know how to say that in Klingon.

I have been VERY CURIOUS to know what Metafilter would think of this series.

Heads up: The cast is doing some audio-only "Ears on Toast" segments on YouTube.

This is a good show. On a recent rewatch I noticed that future jedi Daisy Ridley appears for about two seconds in episode 3.
