The title sequence of each series of Ideal is a different colour... Series 1 was grey; Series 2 was blue; Series 3 was green; Series 4 was purple and Series 5 was red.

Each episode from the second series of Ideal was premiered on BBC Three's website a week before its initial TV broadcast.

The BBC initially asked the production team if they would start the new fifth series by following in the footsteps of Two Pints Of Lager And A Packet Of Crisps and recording the first episode live. However, due to scheduling difficulties, that idea had to be shelved.

The actor who plays the character of Fist is not named in the credits... but it is believed to be writer Graham Duff, who also plays camp Brian in the series.

All the action takes place within the three flats on Moz's floor, and on the stairs. However, in the final episode we finally get to see what the outside of the building looks like.
