Part of the
British Comedy Collection
Moz is a small-time weed dealer who sells to a strange collection of the local oddities. From Colin who's on probation to the musical weirdness of Silicone Valets, from Brian and his ever changing boyfriends to China the gorgeous knicker-dropper, from boring allotment lover Derrick to Jenny the dim-witted babysitter... Moz really is the dealer for the pot-smoking freaks of Salford.
