Ideal

Ideal is a British television program that is now in it’s fifth series. The main character Moz, played by Johnny Vegas is a hash dealer in Manchester who runs his small business from his flat. Because of this, the entire program is set in his cluttered abode.

I’d definitely consider it a comedy program although it’s very surreal with the atmosphere constantly changing due to the bizarre story lines, I suppose you have to watch it to understand what I mean by this.

Moz is frequented by many clients through out the program such as Brain, a very camp man who appears with a different boyfriend each episode, Jenny, the borderline retarded single parent, Derrick, the vegetable farmer, Colin, who is on probation, and a minor gang as shown above composed of Stemroach, Psycho Paul, Cartoon Head and Stevie. Moz is supplied by his best friend PC the policeman who gives him cannabis in bulk that he has raided from rival dealers.

It’s a program worth giving a go although I doubt it will appeal to everyone. A lot of it is on youtube but I managed to find a torrent with the first 3 series on The Pirate Bay. The first couple of series are also on Play for £4 each.
