There’s the occasional overachiever Carole (Katy Wix) who’s still vulnerable to office nonsense. That kind of willful cluelessness puts him right at home with the rest of the staff of Michael & Eagle Lettings, the family-owned real estate business run out of a single-unit storefront. How ‘The Other Two’ Cameos Became New York’s Hottest Club Stath is not great at his job, but you get the sense that he might be halfway decent if he somehow just managed to channel all of his energies at the right target.

The episode-opening montages find him taking customers through various London-area rental properties, flailing around when he’s not hyperfocused on the parts of the flat that aren’t worth the attention. Stath’s odd persistence is almost in a league of his own. He’s overconfident, a little petulant, and still hilarious in spite of himself.

Here, a series of misadventures took Stath, Sophie, Sophie’s new boyfriend Cem, her best friend Katia and her would-be lover Al on an excruciating (but very mature) group date to a pizza restaurant – “Can I have the Tom Tom Cheesy?” Al (Al Roberts) is the fifth wheel on the double pizza date in Stath Lets Flats (Photo: Channel 4) It is like watching toddlers pretend to be adults, imitating snatches of conversation or behaviours they have seen older people do on American TV.
