They did pick a fantastic cast for this show. The way Matt Berry pronounces things is hilarious and always catches me off guard.

I did count kayvan in there. What was his ‘bi’m babsolutely blabbergasted’ character called? Can’t remember but that was complete genius :)

I mean Kayvan Novak's whole thing early in his career was vocal comedy. Silly voices, vocal quirks, absurd delivery etc. so he definitely fits in. Also he's brilliant in PhoneShop, which Josh absolutely needs to watch at some point.

I love Nadja's low-effort, contemptuous flirting wtih the fratbro. Part of why the cast is so ridiculously strong is the way they add these little noises and tics to their delivery, like the way she does these ridiculous nasal moans when she's being 'sexy', or the way Matt Berry pronounces Manahattan. Matt Berry is the master of this. I always remember the IT Crowd episode where he's romancing April, the woman who used to be a man, and asks her 'will you go to dinner with me...in Paris?'. The way he says 'in Paris?' has stayed with me ever since, it's so insane. It's one of those deliveries where you laugh at it for a long time when you first hear it because it's so out of nowhere and absurd. And this show has two or three main characters who are brilliant at that kind of line reading.

Saul

Yeah, I assumed she was metaphorically invisible...then her vampire power is that she can become literally invisible.

Eddy

I think the joke with the invisibility is that she was always "invisible", in that people never paid attention to her or noticed her before she got the actual power.
