Jamie Demetriou (Fleabag, Paddington 2) is Stath – an incompetent Greek-Cypriot lettings agent, working in the family business, Michael & Eagle Lettings. Set in North London, new comedy STATH LETS FLATS follows Stath’s painfully funny attempts to prove himself to his father, and take over as manager, despite being rubbish at his job. Stath’s hapless sister Sophie, played by Natasia Demetriou, isn’t interested in letting flats – she dreams of being a professional dancer, but holds a candle for the family’s favourite employee, nervous negotiator Al. While Stath strives to outdo Michael & Eagle’s top agent Carole, the company struggles against the threat of ‘Smethwicks’ – the slick estate agents chain that have moved on to their patch.

A SPECTACLE OF IDIOCY
While its style expertly borrows from a number of sources, Stath Lets Flats finds a way to still feel original. You'll see moments of Borat, especially in the well-timed and brilliantly executed instances of physical comedy. You'll note the gestures of Brent, especially when cornered. I fancy there's a touch of a sort of non-hedonistic Jez in there too, stirred in amongst the singular things that comprise Stath. Those around him range from complete competence to complete cluelessness, resulting in gentle, multiple collapses of a world that is quite small but often stretched to bursting by the enormity of his cluelessness. As one expects from contemporary comedy, sentiment does not override the potential for bits of tragedy, the cluelessness does not escape the pull of gravity and the storylines do not follow routine expectations. But perhaps best of all, speaking the title aloud will make you sound a lot like Daffy Duck.

Stath is a real charmer.
Jamie Demetriou is having a terrific period in his career. He came to our attention in FLEABAG, but then looking into his imdb stats he has been around for a while now and we have seen him in Paddington 2, Toast of London, Tracey Ullman's Show, etc. Stath isn't just comedy. There is an emotional depth to the character of Stath that is surprising and delightful. It is one of the best things we have seen on TV in a long while. Well, Stash and Fleabag. I'd buy the DVD, if I were you.

Best Comedy In Years
Being a fan of British comedy I’ve been waiting for years for something as good as Stath Let’s Flats. Consistently hilarious, superb performances as well as depth and heart to all the characters. Superbly written and highly recommended!

Masterpiece
The best British sitcom since The Office. Absolutely immaculate casting. So quotable and genuine laughs throughout. Hard to fathom why people aren't going crazy for this programme.
