With flawed characters, the inherent comedy is about the lack thereof and I think that it’s comforting to watch someone who’s less intelligent than you are. I think that probably makes sense across the world but in the UK, their flaw tends to be they’re too bad and in America they’re too good. I think a flawed character specifically with British comedy in particular, is at the heart of every good show. Why do you think we’re drawn to such characters? Why do they make such good comic material? Stath is the longest in a line and distinguished line of comedy losers. Stath is someone who assumed he must be amazing because it would be incredibly inconvenient if he wasn’t. He’s someone who wants to be clever without learning. It’s primarily about a character named Stath who is for want of a better word an idiot. And it’s about family, nepotism and the results of love. The show is about London Greek-ness and the way that looks and feels. It’s got a stupid name and it’s a stupid business as a result. The show is based in one of those lettings agencies that are ten-a-penny that you can pass a million times without knowing what sort of a business it is.
