“, Al goes out with Emma Sidi,” says Natasia. Natasia explains that it’s not an entirely invented dalliance. They have a kind of remedial will-they-won’t-they flirting via lobbing bits of rubble around. In this world of idiots and phonies, the relationship between Sophie and Al (played by Al Roberts), the bashful agent who commutes via coach from Birmingham each morning because he can’t get a flat in London, gives the show its heart. “He wants it to look like an Apple store, and the contrast of that and the inadequacy of the people who work there is perfect.” “He’s made the office look ridiculous,” says Wix. Julian, played by Dustin Demri-Burns, who ran the Foxtons-like posho estate agents next door, has become Stath’s boss. Season two is focused on gentrification, and Stath being lost in a world of millennials and hipsters. Stath Lets Flats series 2 is out on Monday the 19th of August at 10pm on /LRw1td7tG2- Jamie Demetriou August 3, 2019 Imagine now if I did the interview and I was just moving my neck around – you’d be like: that’s a very specific lie.” It’s the kind of stream of consciousness that you could easily imagine Stath spouting as he shows a couple around a two-bed in Enfield.

I pulled a muscle in my neck so I can’t turn my neck one way. “How’s it going … was my hand wet from the toilet?” he says absent-mindedly, before answering his own question without pausing, “Mmm, enough that I should have warned you beforehand.” But on first impressions, I’m not so sure.

After the first series aired, I’d read interviews in which he says he’s nothing like Stath. Jamie is in a button-down shirt and trendy baseball cap. I meet the cast a few days after they have wrapped filming.

“Lettings agents are just really on, they have this fake chumminess with the clients, the whole set-up of viewing lends itself to these characters revealing what idiots they are.”

“The world of lettings just lends itself to character comedy,” says Katy Wix, who plays Carole, the office swot who struts around like an Apprentice contestant. Stath is joined at Michael & Eagle Lettings by a boiler room of flawed colleagues and his sister Sophie (played by Jamie’s real-life sister, comedian Natasia Demetriou).
