Black Books


I just started watching this show and must say, it is pure brilliance! Dylan Moran is perfect as Bernard Black, the biggest bahstahd since Basil Fawlty! The story lines are amazing, the acting perfect, and the comedy surreal.

You might like Green Wing as well. It's been several years since I've seen either, but I think the girl in Green Wing is from Black Books, and I greatly enjoyed both shows.

Thank you for the rec, "Green Wing" is hilarious! I cannot believe that Dr. Statham is Brian from "Spaced"! Had I not looked, I would have NEVER known. Thank you again for "Green Wing".

Mark Heap was superb in Big Train too, also with Simon Pegg.

I love the show. Funny as hell. I am at one point Buying the Black Books Boxset. My favorite is the lock out. Baily is a riot.

A funny show but I had hoped there would be more actual bookstore humor. Most of the time, they could be anywhere.

Loved it when he was trying to impress one of the girls by jumping out of a cupboard playing a flute and wearing just his underpants.

Tamsin Greig - recently in "Episodes", which I think is coming back for another series. Proper adult humour!

Best ep. for me was when they drank that very, very expensive bottle of wine and decided to replicate it from the ingredients on the bottle. Bill Bailey with his "Egor" spoof was hilarious!
