I’ve really grown to like her, in this series particularly.” How would Wix describe Carole to an alien? “I’d ask if they’d seen The Apprentice and if they hadn’t, I would end the conversation.” She thinks she’s really mad and incredible but she’s actually boring and predictable. Wix, who plays Carole, says her character’s blind spot is that “she has a really high opinion of herself but doesn’t realise she’s a bit of an idiot. She’s actually the only character who gets frequent monologues because she talks fast.

When we reunite with the employees of Michael & Eagle Lettings, they have just realised Julian frittered away all the business’s money and, having been evicted, they are working out of Stath’s father’s house. Carole (Katy Wix) was pregnant with his child and Julian (Dustin Demri-Burns), who’d taken over the family business, had fallen off a balcony and died. The last time we saw Stath, at the end of season two, he was living in his car and incessantly snogging his new girlfriend Katia. After five years of development, the first series of Stath Lets Flats aired in 2018. The first version of the character was broadcast as one of three five-minute shorts he made for Channel 4’s Comedy Blaps in 2013.
