Positive review of Ideal Series 5

Ideal is in its fifth series now, and it has developed into a seriously good sitcom. The sit is solid. Moz, a small-time dope dealer played by Johnny Vegas, never leaves his squalid Salford flat. And the com is full of incident, because Moz's life is marked out by the comings and goings of a motley crew of customers, family, neighbours and business associates, actual and potential, and many of them are bigger crooks than he is.
