Synopsis
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars The most under-rated sitcom on British TV right now, 3 Jun 2008
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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Half hours worth of sheer class, 5 Mar 2008
By Mr. J. Hazell "sirriddler" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal improves with every wash!, 19 Feb 2009
By Stephen Chambers "randidno" (Japan) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
TO be honest, I really wanted to write a review of Series 4, as this is the best so far.
This series anyway, continues to get better and better. Superbly written, coupled with excellent music make it a winner. But the key to Series 1 through to 3, is the development of the characters.

If you have stumbled upon this review, watch them in order from the beginning until the end of Season 3. Then just watch Season 4 --

This is ideal watching and of course watch Season 4!
