Black Books
(please log in to view the image)
Bernard Black runs his own bookshop even though he doesn't much like people who buy books and hates having customers. Next door to Bernard's shop is the Nifty Gifty gift shop run by Fran, probably Bernard's only friend in the world. When Bernard's accountant goes on the run Bernard employs stress victim, Manny to help in his shop. This leads to a series of surreal adventures around the shop.
Anyone else a fan of Black Books?
I love it, one of the best recent sitcoms. Bill Bailey is a legend!
I've got series 1 and 2 on DVD.. I need to get the 3rd

yeah there's outtakes and things, but of course it's worth just owning them for the episodes themselves
oh yeah there's commentary too, once you've watched the series, then listen to six half hour episodes of the 3 of them joking around!
on play.com
Series 1 - £8.99
Series 2 - £10.99
Series 3 - £14.99
and on amazon, the triple box set is £35.19

It truely is a british comedy tour de force. It's one of few from the last 10 years that gives me hope in the british sitcom.
