The Toast

Episode image for The Toast

Duration: 30 minutes

Steve and Becky are young, unemployed and lazy. All they want to do is stay in bed, drink, eat and have sex - so they do. They don't want to get a job - so they don't.

We watch their endless days hanging about Steve's bedsit played out in minute detail, warts-and-all and in real time, as they live happily and ambition-free, milking the state. When friends and parents try and visit they can't get rid of them quickly enough. Upstairs neighbour Dan finds endless reasons to come down, lonely and looking for love, while Becky's sister Laura insists on popping round with her loveably psychotic fiance Paul. All Steve and Becky want is to be left alone.

This comedy series reveals the hilarious and often shocking truth of what really goes on behind the bedroom doors of today's 20-somethings. And, to be honest, today's 30-somethings. And 40-somethings. And 50-somethings. And 60- and 70- and 80-somethings ... because sometimes we all secretly wish we were young, unemployed and lazy.

Steve and Becky are doing their usual thing - staying in bed and just about to have sex. Their plans are scuppered, however, when Laura turns up panicking because her fiance Paul has stayed out all night. Steve just wants Laura to leave but has to cover for Paul. And neighbour Dan wants to get melons. And eat them with spoons.
