But it also allows you to empathise with them a bit more as well, which I think is a big part of comedy. When you pitch a character like Stath, there aren’t many people in the world who are less good than him so anyone can look down on him which is useful. 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.
