Synopsis:
|
Sitcom about a small-time dope dealer. Ideal mixes pathos with a very dark humour, depicting a world of sex and drugs and the dole.
Moz is a small-time hash dealer who lives in a run-down flat with his long-term girlfriend Nicki. Moz is a low achiever, and quite happy with it, but Nicki has aspirations for a better life...
The series takes place entirely in Moz's flat and his chosen 'profession' serves as the backdrop for a very colourful array of customers and misfits who pass through his life on a daily basis.

BSG Review:
|
A dark and down-beat but well written and enjoyable to watch sitcom. Johnny Vegas is fantastic as Moz (itís almost as though the role was written especially for him) however overall this is a fairly average comedy. Be warned it can get you hooked though as the clever plotting ensures you want to find out what happens next week. Also maybe surprisingly for a sitcom it features an assassination, i.e. not your average comedy.
Series 2 is due later in 2006.
