Product Description
Things aren't going well for Moz in this, the third series of this roguish comedy starring Johnny Vegas as a friendly neighbourhood drug dealer. He's broken his leg, girlfriend Nicki has moved in along with baby Sanjeev, his ex-girlfriend Tania is the baby's health visitor and his ex-necrophiliac neighbour has got a job in a funeral parlour. But Moz's problems really begin when landlord Mr Rupani arranges for builders to redecorate the flat. The foreman Alan is a hard-line born-again Christian. When he asks why Moz receives so many visitors, Moz lies, claiming he is also born again and people are coming to him for advice. Unfortunately, Moz finds it increasingly difficult to sustain the illusion and when Alan finally figures out Moz is a drug dealer, he turns from Good Samaritan to messianic monster and threatens to destroy Moz's entire world...

Ideal is the most under-rated sitcom on British TV right now.
Tucked away on a late-night slot on BBC3. Since that channel was recently re-branded as a teeny-bopper channel, it seems even more out of place amongst the mind-numbing celebrity circle jerks and tedious shock-docs. Why it hasn't reached a wider audience is a mystery to me. I will take a guess that the reason is because of the subject matter of a small time drug dealer, although this is obviously just a plot device that suits the format of one central character with many supporting characters.
Ideal is a simple tale about Manchester's least industrious weed dealer and his motley crew of buyers. Or is it so simple? As the series goes on, the lives of all his mates and customers become increasingly more entangled.
The dialogue is sharp and modern, without ever sounding forced or crammed with buzzwords, and it's brought to life perfectly by a great and ever increasing ensemble cast headed by Johnny Vegas himself.
If you always thought you didn't like Johnny Vegas, you might just be surprised at this show - He shows himself to not only to be an excellent physical, or facial, comedian with great comic timing, but also express just the right amount of pathos to lift the show above the regular sitcom situation.
To be honest, series 3 is probably the worst series of the show, but it still manages to beat everything else on BBC3 hands down. Series 4, coming to the end of it's run on TV at the time of writing, has been amazing and has brought the show back right onto top form.
Graham Duff, Johnny Vegas and the whole cast - Thanks for the laughs!

Ideal is perhaps the most under rated comedy drama England has had too offer in quite some time. The scripts are clever and gripping, the actors are brilliant and their characters are even better. With so many great lines, and gripping stories that have you coming back week after week, whats not too love?
Season three sees Moz purpose to his girlfriend by accident, as the wedding day quickly approaches he tries time and time again to wiggle out of it. Cartoon Head and Physco Paul start recording porn in his flat, and Alan (The Christan builder) is slowly driven completely mental by the harsh and cruel reality's that surround him.
Admittedly this is not Ideals best season, but it never once gets boring, and with season four being as brilliant as it has been, now is the perfect time to catch up and await the fourth season being released on DVD. I plead with the British public to watch Ideal more often or to give it a chance, to make sure the BBC know that we love fresh brilliantly written comedy dramas and we'd love to see more like it take over the rubbish filled BBC three
Special features include, a rather bizarre documentary, Cartoon Head The Mask behind the Man, Ideal Night Out actors from Ideal do a charity stand up gig (The highlights being Cartoon Head and Johnny Vegas), Out-takes and Photo Gallery
The one big complaint/question I have though, is why did it take so long for series 3 to be released? If it was released two weeks before Season Four, it might have bumped up the viewing figures for the new season. If that wasn't bad enough we had to wait over a year for it to arrive. *Sniffs*
In closing Ideal is brillant

I've been waiting for this to come out on DVD for ages now. The first two series i discovered by accident one night on BBC3 and found it inteligent, well written and lets be fair, bloody funny. I won't spoil anything, what with series 4 due to air in the near future but if you've never seen this before, get watching, it's top stuff.
