Synopsis
Moz (Johnny Vegas) has been dealing drugs for over twenty years from his small bedsit in Manchester which he shares with his girlfriend, Nicki. But despite his chosen profession Moz is a man of principles - he deals only in the best quality marijuana and nothing else. He is providing a crucial service to the local community, which pretty much extends as far as his closest friends: Kuldip, an Asian DJ and police constable who is also Moz's chief cannabis supplier; Jane, the childminder from hell; Brian, a camp scally who seems to have a new boyfriend every week and a man who always wears a cartoon mask, simply known as 'Cartoon Head'.

DVD Extras: Publicity info, 'Making Of' out- takes, deleted scenes and commentary on episodes 3,5,6 and 8

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST COMEDY I'VE EVER SEEN !, 16 Dec 2005
This is not only the best comedy I've seen in the last year but also the best comedy I've ever seen. This series is great for anyone who enjoys comedy and drama. I recomend that you should also check out the soundtrack album which is also available.
Besure to catch the Christmas special on the 27th of December on BBC-3 and the second series in the new year.
Never have I enjoyed a program more than this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal is the best comedy i've seen in AGES!! ..........."EVIL", 19 April 2006
By Mr. P. A. Sparkes "sparkx_11" (Accrington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It's been a while since I've enjoyed a TV series so much I've purposefully stayed in to watch new episodes! The BBC produces the finest comedy around and 'Ideal' just adds to the list! Fantastic characters like Troy, Colin and Cartoon Head, a great performance from Vegas, shady and atmospheric production styles and a well devised soundtrack make 'Ideal' a refreshing original dark humoured comedy. I didn't give Series 1 much of a look-in when it first aired but thought I'd buy this DVD anyways and put it 'on probation'! Got all my mates into it now and hooked on Series 2!

5.0 out of 5 stars Jonny Vegas at his smoking best, 8 Mar 2006
Wasn't sure if I would enjoy this, but after a few minutes of the first programme I was hooked. What a refreshing change from the endless hours of mind-numbing pap we are subjected to on mainstream channels. One of the few innovative series in recent years. Here's looking forward to the next (soon) series.
