It’s the most cerebral, emotional and subtle comedy on TV. Think that, however, and Demetriou has sucker punched you all.
Perhaps it doesn’t pull in the viewing figures because people write it off as jolly slapstick or awkward cringe comedy or zany pratfalls or crude clowning.
If a tree falls in a forest, and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or, to put it another way – if a sitcom wins three Baftas, and no one watches it, is it a comedy classic? In the case of Stath Lets Flats (Channel 4), Jamie Demetriou’s oddball sitcom about an inept Greek-Cypriot lettings agent in north London, undoubtedly so.
