“Oh, mate,” says Demetriou, shaking his head. Was it a worry to make a third series at all, given that so many crucial British comedies call it a day after two? If there’s one thing you need to know about Demetriou, it’s that he worries a lot – he has spoken in interviews before about anxiety and finishes almost every answer with an apology about the answer being boring (it never is) or depressing (more on this later). “It’s a bit like being on stage and being interviewed about how the gig went,” he says. “Taking something that’s a bad idea,” says a smiling Demetriou over Zoom, “something that’s hacky, and to actually do a good job with it, that’s something I aspire to in a really big way.”ĭemetriou, 33, is speaking to me from the London edit suite where he’s in the final 48 hours of editing the third series of Stath Lets Flats. And yet, across three seasons now, actor and writer Jamie Demetriou has created a universally loved, multi-Bafta-winning comedy where we root for – and we really do – estate agents. It’s a truth universally acknowledged that there just might be jobs in Britain that command more respect than estate agents.
