Toast: ludicrous, self-absorbed, pompous, hammy, self-deluded, surreal and - crucially - unfailingly funny
What a glorious, surreal thing it is
Just gets funnier and funnier as it goes along . . . In Toast, they have created a monster, a fabulous thespian one. The whole thing is of great imagination and surreality
What a glorious, surreal thing it is
