Matt Berry has confirmed that he is planning a fourth series of the sitcom

However, amidst a busy schedule he does not know when he will be able to write it

Matt Berry has revealed that he plans to write a fourth series of Toast Of London.

The sitcom focuses on an outrageous, largely talentless and wholly luckless actor, Steven Toast, who finds himself in a constant string of tricky situations, both through his own bombast and the incompetence of his agent, Jane Plough.

Three series have been broadcast to date, with the last airing in 2015. Berry co-writes the programme with Arthur Mathews, and stars as Toast. Doon Mackichan appears as Plough; Robert Bathurst as Toast's flatmate and fellow actor, Ed Howzer-Black; and Harry Peacock as his personal and professional nemesis, Ray Purchase.

Shazad Latif, Tim Downie and Tracy Ann Oberman complete the regular cast.

Speaking to the Guardian newspaper to promote his latest sitcom, Victorian police comedy Year Of The Rabbit, Berry explained that he is planning to pen a fourth series, but doesn't yet know when he'll have time to write it. He is now a leading cast member of US vampire sitcom What We Do In The Shadows, requiring him to live and work in the US for almost 4 months every year.

Asked why he wants to return to Steven Toast, Matt Berry said: "Because he's the anti-me. I wrote him because I met so many actors who are utterly vicious about other actors - always frustrated, bitter and cynical. I'm not. I'm doing all the things I ever wanted. More than I ever imagined. I never dreamed of being a comedian. I never imagined I'd be a clown. There aren't enough hours in the day. But otherwise I'm living the life I wanted."

Year Of The Rabbit begins at 10pm on Channel 4 this Monday, 10th June. What We Do In The Shadows is broadcast in the UK on Sunday evenings by BBC Two.
