But the story and the set-piece jokes – Stath enjoyed romantically cutting the hair of his colleague and “mayor of gentleman town”, Al (Al Roberts) – weren’t the draw. So began Stath’s quest to get a new “park time” job at his cousin’s barbers. While he could barely contain his excitement, it wasn’t exactly good timing – Michael and Eagle had been forced to relocate to his father’s (Christos Stergioglou) house and, until they convinced their landlords to stick with them and found another office, they couldn’t pay anyone. Natasia Demetriou taps into a more subdued vibe here than on What We Do in the Shadows, playing Stath’s sister Sophie, who mainly splits her time between not-so-secretly pining after Al. The show picked up nine months after the series two finale, with Carole (Katy Wix) about to give birth to Stath’s (Demetriou) baby at any moment. After a long break, its silly yet heartfelt return last night proved it’s still the daftest show on television. Stath Lets Flats, Jamie Demetriou’s brilliant series about the off-the-wall, loveable agents at Michael and Eagle Lettings won the Bafta for Best Scripted Comedy last year – beating Catastrophe, Derry Girls and Fleabag.
