Black Books


Okay, so the Brother and I just finished another British comedy series, this one recommended to me by Javmango. It's a hilarious series starring Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, and Tamsin Greig.

The basic premise of the story revolves around the lives of Bernard Black, a misanthropic bookstore owner; his well-meaning and bearded assistant Manny Bianco; and Fran Katzenjammer, Bernard's oldest friend who owns the gift shop next door.

The series is hilarious! I can't recommend it enough! ;)

  5. Ha yeah I love Black Books. Bill Bailey is my hero! If you're looking at British comedies, Green Wing is also very funny though sadly no books involved. And Father Ted is one of my favourites :)

  6. Ooh, thank you, Barbara! I'll have to check those out :)

    (And if Bill Bailey is your hero, I'd have to say Dylan Moran is mine! :P)

  8. If you are interested in British comedies, 'The Martins' is a good film. Lee Evans stars, along with Kathy Burke.

    Another one would be 'Gimme Gimme Gimme' also staring Kathy Burke :)
