Minnie Driver relishes her recurring cameo as Tom’s hard-nosed but soft-hearted agent. The ensuing saga takes in exes, phone sex, male strippers and Scrabble rows. They assumed she was his cleaner and lowered their cameras.Īs we return, the unlikely couple – “a labrador and a hedgehog who became best friends”, as Jessie describes it – are trying to pursue a proper relationship, even though he’s still saved on her mobile as “Tom Famous”. Doing the walk of shame out of his flat, she found a pack of paparazzi outside. She vaguely recognised him (“Do you work at the Shepherd’s Bush Superdrug?”) but didn’t discover his real identity until the following morning. The debut series saw Jessie accidentally have a one-night stand with an A-list Hollywood actor, Tom Kapoor (Nikesh Patel). She’s mischievous, messy and confident in her unconventionality – but as we see later in the series, it takes a brave man to call her “kooky” or “quirky”. This is one of the loveliest low-key gems you’re likely to see all year.Īward-winning stand-up Matafeo plays corkscrew-haired force-of-nature Jessie, a 28-year-old New Zealander juggling two dead-end jobs in East London. Most importantly, is the magic still there? Happily, very much so. You might notice how many scenes take place outdoors or socially distanced.

It clocked up nearly five million views on iPlayer, making it BBC Three’s best-performing comedy of the year, and was recommissioned for a second series before it had even aired. It might have been saddled with a late-night time slot and a fairly generic title but Rose Matafeo’s Starstruck (BBC Three/iPlayer) quietly became one of 2021’s biggest sitcom hits.
