Seventh Series Of Ideal Starts Tomorrow Night

It doesn't get PR. It's hidden away in the schedules. But dark sitcom Ideal, starring Johnny Vegas, reaches it's seventh series, starting tomorrow on BBC3 at 10.30pm.

Somewhere between Shameless and Twin Peaks, Graham Duff's Ideal is funny, character based but also sleepily surreal, mining the same territory as Chris Morris' Jam in creating a woozy otherwise sense of reality, comedy, and fear. It really is one of my favourite pieces of television.

You can catch up on past series here.

With Hugo Blick's The Shadow Line on BBC1 before it and both Adam Curtis' All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace and Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton's Psychoville also on at the moment,  there a real trend of good looking, disturbing television on the Beeb at the moment. More, please.
