Johnny
Vegas makes Ideal return to BBC THREE
What the Press said about
Ideal (series 1)
"Ideal is very funny indeed. Almost everything in Graham
Duff's clever script seems aimed at serving up a dark slice of contemporary
life in a light-hearted way. Once
again, BBC THREE has bolstered its reputation as a breeding ground
for the best new comedy on TV."
Daily Telegraph
"Ideal makes for very funny viewing with a slightly sinister edge. It has just about everything – a great script, characters and actors – and Johnny Vegas at his best."
The Observer
"This new sitcom is played one beat away from bleak drama, but it is very definitely funny as the gags come thick and fast, while Johnny Vegas brings real depth to the lead role. For those who like their comedy rooted in reality, this is pure pleasure – an unadulterated joy from start to finish."
Mail on Sunday
"Ideal is a top comedy offering from the Beeb."
Daily Star Sunday
"Strange? Yes. Funny? Absolutely. This ultra-funny effort is so full of side-spliffing one-liners you'd be daft to miss it. Quality stoned banter throughout."
Nuts
"Beautifully scripted by Graham Duff."
Saturday Telegraph
"Appealing dark comedy…Johnny Vegas gives an immensely credible performance."
The
Independent
"Ideal is an inventive addition to the excellent BBC THREE comedy catalogue."
The List
"The secret of a hit sitcom? Make your hero a slob who spends all his time in an armchair."
Pick of the Day; News of the World
"Wryly scripted."
The Times
"On a roll with its pioneering comedy, BBC THREE ploughs
on with Ideal. If it's not a hit, then I'm Lisa Scott-Lee."
