"Ideal" is a brilliant (well, in my own humble opinion, of course) UK sitcom with a very unusual premise. Its set solely in the Manchester flat and the outside hallway of slobbish small-time drug dealer Moz (Johnny Vegas). The action centres around the diverse and, frankly, sometimes weird bunch of customers who some to buy their hash from Moz. Couple that with Moz's feisty Welsh girlfriend, the persistent but none-too-bright potential customerCraig and the tough little old lady, Mrs Coneybear, from the flat below - there are laughs galore. There will be at least one character you'll be drawn to, I can guarantee it.
Andrew plays Lee, one of a permanently paired-up, drugged-up musicians who perform under the name "Silicone Valets"...a name that Lee is forever explaining the meaning of to whoever will listen. I adore Lee and Jason (Tim Fallows)- they're not exactly the brightest lads but they look like geniuses compared to some of the customers Moz has. Plus, Andrew looks so darned different!
Ideal is showing on Tuesday's weekly in the UK on UKTV G2 (Sky channel 111) at 9:40pm. The same episode is repeated a couple of hours later, on the same channel, at 12:10am on Thursday morning.
Hmm, I'll be watching in a few minutes time... (the clock on here is an hour and a half wrong - I dunno how to fix that yet. ) Enjoy, Endymion.

oooo, can you record it and post it on youtube? I live in the US, and I don't have satellite or anything. I really want to see it especially if it has Andrew in it.

So I went and watched all the clips of Ideal. I wish I could watch the full episodes, cuz it's so funny. I wish we got it over here. And thanks for the link randomwierdo. Now I'm hooked on Primeval. I just watched the first episode. Andrew is so funny! I can't wait to watch more.

Just watched Dead Fish on youtube. Geez, with each show that I watch with Andrew in it, I love him even more. He still sounds great even with the American accent. Although it was kind of funny (and cute) to hear him slip back in to his regular accent every once in awhile. I'm going to go hunt around to see if I can find anything else on the net with him in it.
But that whole Gary Oldman in love with Andrew's girlfriend thing was kinda wierd. When it did the hearts in the train station and then when he burst into song, it was so random, I was cracking up!

I totally agree! Andrew really is an immensely talented man. He makes it all look so easy and he obviously loves his work. Bless him!
Hey, Moviefanatic, if you want to hear his American accent slip slightly, have a lil look at the clips of "Avalanche" I have on YouTube. Its not the worst film I've ever seen - names 'cause of Andrew and the rather cute Adam Croasdell who plays his brother in the show
Most of the bits with Lynch, Abe, Danny Devine (Robert Carlyle) or Sal (Jimi Mistry) are just brilliant! Sadly, there are a few moments thrown into Dead Fish that are kinda pointless - I firmly believe that the movie would have been better without Billy Zane's character and the second hitman...their roles are good, but they kinda slow the story down a bit. Shame that! Still, I do like the film all the same. Endymion.

Andrew featured in the first episod of the 6-part series but I can;t be sure how many other episodes he will appear in. I know of at least one, however, so keep your eyes peeled, Potts-fans!
