Toast of London

Pilloried by the public after appearing in a controversial West End play, actor Steven Toast is recently-divorced and living with his friend Ed Howzer-Black and Ed's elderly mistress Goodhouse, an agoraphobic who has not left the house in two years for fear of a local flasher.

Steven Toast wins an award for best actor from Bra's Magazine; he also narrowly escapes death from a dangerous romantic interest and falls for an attractive, yet alcoholic, journalist.

Toast starts work on a new play, but encounters an issue when he realizes Ray Purchase is his co-star; the situation is further complicated when he discovers the director is prone to murdering disobedient actors.

In order to pay for his divorce settlement, Toast takes up a role in a blockbuster funded by an anti-royalist billionaire; his agent, however, persuades him to do a laxative commercial.

Toast’s new girlfriend, the aristocratic Portia de Coogan, thinks it’s about time Toast met her father Lord Fotheringham. Professionally, some voice-over work for the Royal Navy leads to a terrifying visit to the launch of their latest submarine – The Penetrator.

Toast writes an erotic novel; at the same time, he looks for a new agent; Toast also meets a new romantic interest, with a catch; he becomes the unwilling star of a porn movie.
