Ideal

Brian is camper than a row of pink tents. Every time he comes around Moz's flat, he has a different boyfriend in tow. He often talks to Moz about his bedroom antics, something the dealer would definitely rather not hear.

As the first series progressed Brian's boyfriends became more and more feminine. The last one was actually a butch female! Later in series three, Brian finally fell in love and stopped swapping partners every ten minutes. Trouble is, he became heart broken when his boyfriend had the cheek to dump him! He was so used to doing the dumping himself he didn't know what to do!

Brian is one of Moz's oldest friends. In the series four flashback episode we discover he used to be straight. Back in the 90s he had long-hair and was dating some seriously hot women.

Cartoon Head doesn't value life at all... which is actually quite a good attribute for him, as he is a hitman by trade.

Cartoon Head always wears as mask - we never see his face. It transpires that it was Stemroach who is responsible him being that way - we still we don't quite know exactly what happened, but we do know that Cartoon Head can't get the mask off now - that is his face!

It isn't until the end of the first series that Moz realises that Cartoon Head, who is one of his most loyal customers, is actually the man behind the horrid 'Hand-Job Murders'. When the hitman turns up at Moz's flat high on strong drugs at the end of the first series things go terribly wrong - he mis-interprets what Moz says and shoots annoying Craig dead. This understandably causes Moz all kinds of problems!

Following a battle that raged throughout series four, Cartoon Head is now in charge of the Triad. He also has a girlfriend in the form of Judith - but there are signs that relationship might not last much longer.

China, along with her friend Asia, were two of Moz's regular clients for a while. They never seemed to have enough money to pay their way though. However Moz clearly had a soft spot for them and so lets them get away without paying.

After a while though China started visiting with different boyfriends in tow (including Psycho Paul for a period) so Moz stopped giving her free drugs. This didn't seem to bother China though - she had plenty of other men queuing up to pay for whatever she wanted!

Colin is a bouncy, childlike scally. He is constantly 'out on probation', as he reminds people every five minutes. Considering he is meant to be keeping out of trouble, it doesn't stop him being one of Moz's most regular customers.

Colin always seems to be trying to flog stolen goods to Moz, and even if he does manage to sell him sometime, he'll still manage to leave with more under his coat than he came in with.

In series three Colin starts dating a call girl called Carmel. She had amnesia at the time, which made it easy for him to convince her they used to be together. However, unfathomably, they're somehow still going out now... this is despite Colin having a very ill-advised threesome with Moz and Jenny!

The weird and annoying loner Craig wasn't originally one of Moz's regular clients, but when someone recommended Moz as a good dealer to him, he kept pestering Moz to let him visit the flat. At one point he even threw a tin of dressed crab through Moz's window to try and get his attention!

Moz was eventually worn down and agreed to sell Craig some hash. At this point they actually quickly became friends - but just as things were going well, a drugged up Cartoon Head blew Craig's brains out with a pistol!

Derrick is another regular customer... but Moz wishes he wasn't. He is obsessed with vegetables and is so, so, so boring!

Although now quite scruffy and covered in dirt, Derrick once used to be a suited and booted business man. However when his uncle died and left him an allotment, Derrick found his passion for gardening and became the laid back man he is now.

Felix is the teenager who Jenny was technically babysitting in the early series... despite the fact he was almost as old as her. In fact it soon became apparent that they were actually having a baby together! Childish Felix was somewhat overwhelmed by fatherhood when the baby did arrive and so is no longer seen around.

Jack is one of Moz's regular clients who always seemed to be on a bit of downer. He'd split up with his girlfriend and often came to Moz for advice.

Jason is in a boyband (latest name 'Silicone Valets') with his friend Lee. They used the severed hand Moz found for the front cover of their first album.

When Lee went missing, Jason had to try and do everything in the band himself - something that's clearly wasn't going to work. He's glad to have Lee back, but is clearly a bit uncomfortable about his friend's new persona.

Jenny is the child minder and young mother from hell! She used to look after a number of children and regularly brought them along with her when she visited the flat to score from Moz. Things have changed now though - Jenny is living in the flat as Moz's new girlfriend.

Probably the number one chav in Manchester, Jenny is also easily the thickest resident of the city - dopey does not begin to describe how dumb she is!

Jenny seems to live in her own little dream world and has zero sense of responsibility, as was demonstrated when she used to frequently forget the names of the kids she was looking after... and sometimes even forgot them altogether!

Jenny had a baby during the second series - the poor thing was constantly being dumped into other people's hands.

At the end of Series Four, Jenny was accidently shot... and so she begins Series Five in a coma.

Judith moves in across the hall from Moz as his shy and very nervy new neighbour at the start of series two. She soon becomes the dealer's potential love interest too.

Timid Judith wants to fit in and be normal, but it soon becomes clear that she has various interests and hobbies that border on the socially unacceptable. Moz first starts to get worried when Judith begins working at an undertakers and is seen dragging body-shaped sacks into her flat, but he soon has an even more pressing concern - Judith clearly has a major infatuation with him. She makes a large clay model of Moz and starts to alter her appearance to look more like Nicki in a blatant attempt to try and steal Moz from her.

After an unfortunate accident, she ends series three with a wasp mask stuck to her head. As it happens this gets Cartoon Head interested in her and for a while they make the ideal plastic-faced couple. However, when Judith gets her mask removed by the doctor, Cartoon Head starts to lose interest in her... how long will the relationship last, and will Judith come out of it alive?

Kuldip has a regular slot as a DJ at the local club. He was always boasting to Moz about the number of white labels records he has in his box.

Kuldip was very much in the background until he slept with Nikki at the flat party... suddenly he found himself as the father of baby Sanjeev! However, he has now disappeared from the scene.

Things go horribly wrong for singer Lee in the third series. After crossing paths with Alan the builder, Lee ends up being sealed inside a hot water tank.

When the flat's boiler is changed Lee is finally released... however it soon becomes apparent he is now a very different person. He is quiet and serene - and actually quite creepy now if truth be told!

When Christian builders Alan and Marco see Lee, they think he has come back from the dead and start following him as his disciples. This suits Lee just fine, because he thinks he is the new Jesus!

Moz is a small time drug dealer who has been dealing for a number of years from his small bedsit in Manchester, which he used to share with his girlfriend Nicki, but now shares with his new girlfriend Jenny. He deals only in the many varieties of marijuana and sees himself as 'providing a crucial service to the community'.

Moz doesn't even enjoy drug dealing very much. Whenever there's a knock at the door, it always seems to be the 'client' Moz least wants to see or speak to.

Moz rarely sets foot outside the front door of his bedsit and seems to have no concept of keeping the flat tidy. Ideally he'd like a quiet and worry free life, but always seems to end up getting tangled up in the problems and crime going on around him.

Nicki was Moz's girlfriend She and Moz had a love/hate relationship with Nicki constantly nagging Moz about the state of the flat. After a while Nicki couldn't stand living with Moz any more and so moved out.

Nicki returned to the flat at the start of series three to give birth. The baby caused her to suffer from sleep deprivation, so at the time she was having hallucinations.

At the start of the fourth series, Nicki once again began to see PC behind Moz's back... and it was this that made her and Moz realise they should probably break up.

PC is Moz's mate... and also his chief supplier. PC works as a Police Constable and so can give Moz the hash he busts from other dealers. PC is a good contact for Moz because he can tip him off as to what the latest police activity is - this was certainly helpful to the dealer when CID planned to raid the flat.

A complete coward, PC does everything he can to avoid arresting people (e.g. for example, he still overlooks the fact that Stemroach's gang stabbed him). PC also dodges the offers of promotion he's received as he doesn't want any more responsibility. How he's managed to remain a police officer, let alone get offered a promotion, is a bit of a mystery because he spends a lot of the time he should be on duty smoking with Moz.

It is revealed in series four that PC's real name is Phil Collins. He hates his name though and so that is why everyone just calls him by his initials (which are handily also his job title).

PC has had a number of affairs with Nicki. Moz was totally oblivious to their first affair... well until PC told him after a drunken binge.

Psycho Paul didn't get his nickname for nothing - he is a mean, un-predictable, nasty nutter.

Moz first comes across Paul when he is operating as a rival dealer in the neighbourhood. When it became clear to Paul that a stash Moz was storing came from his flat (PC had got it via a raid), we got to see first hand that Paul was not a very nice chap!

Paul soon quit being a dealer though to move into the shadier and more lucrative worlds of kidnapping, porn and general gangster activities. Moz doesn't want to get involved in his plans but it isn't really possible to refuse Psycho Paul without causing offence and risking life and limb!

Sangita was one of Moz's regular customers for a period. She suffers from MS. Sangita is a good friend of Nicki's... in fact, they actually had a brief relationship together.

When Moz first met Sangita he couldn't stop accidentally putting his foot in it in regards to her health. However, following her 'affair' with Nikki, he started reminding her she was going to die soon whenever he could.

Steve turns up at the start of series two. He comes around Moz's flat looking for his missing brother Craig but soon ends up part of Stemroach's gang. Little does he know that it was fellow gang member Cartoon Head who shot his brother dead!

Steve is exploited by the rest of the gang - he always gets the bad jobs and is often physically abused. The rest of the gang find him very annoying but, for some reason, put up with him. It's probably because he does all the dirty work for them.

Towards the end of series three, Steve takes control of the gang after a short manic outburst which has both Psycho Paul and Cartoon Head un-characteristically terrified. But, when Steve admits that he doesn't actually have violence in him, his fellow gang members make him pay a very heavy price - they take one of his eyeballs! As a result Steve must now wear an eyepatch.

Troy is Moz's brother. When he comes to stay at the flat he proves hard to budge. He even ran a rubbish pirate radio station from Moz's airing cupboard for a while - but the dodgy wiring caused him a few problems and 'Troy FM' went up with a bang.

Troy is very touchy about the topic of his wife and becomes quite upset when people mention his relationship. It would appear that his wife beats him up - last time he went to see her he came back with bruises.

Although Moz outwardly appears to hate his brother, there must actually be a deep connection between them. You see it was Troy who accidently shot Stemroach in 1993 and caused him to lose his voice - if it wasn't for Moz stepping in front of the gun Stemroach was aiming at Troy, Troy would have been killed there and then.

Yasuko suffers from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); she always has a packet of Wet Wipes on hand to clean everything and anything.

Yet, despite her squeaky clean image, Yasuko has a wild past and during the series it is revealed that she has taken part in a threesome with Nicki whilst backpacking in Thailand!

Yasuko is now happily married to dull Derrick and enjoys spending time down on the allotment with him.
