The show, which stars The Mighty Boosh and IT Crowd star as a middle-aged actor who is forced to take on a series of undesirable roles, had not previously aired on US television - and now all three seasons are available for Netflix subscribers all over the world to binge and enjoy.

Toast of London features memorable cameos from a host of stars, including Martin Freeman, and the late Sir Bruce Forsyth – well, somebody in a prosthetic mask pretending to be Brucie at any rate.

It has been nearly 2 years since the end of season 3, and in July Matt Berry told Radiotimes.com that he wasn't sure if he'd ever return to the series.
