Julian Bellamy, Controller Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three, said: "Drop Dead Gorgeous and Ideal are
real examples of the channel's commitment to comedy - I'm delighted to have
established names like Johnny Vegas alongside newcomers like Sinead Moynihan on
Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Three."

Terry.

Produced by Hat Trick North, the series goes into production in 2007.

Moz, trying to stay one step ahead of the law, despite his everyday catalogue
of murder, mayhem and madness.
