heya everybody. i was just wondering if anyone here likes the British comedy show Black Books?? i rate it as one of my top 5 funniest shows ever. (its got Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey in it-which should be somewhat exlainatory) Dylan moran is possibly one of the funniest guys ever, and bill bailey comes a pretty close second. i have been told by friends that i am a few very small steps from actually becoming Bernard... if you haven't seen it, i totally recommend it.

GRRR.....ARGGHH

anyway, black books, rock on! everyone should watch it, fans of Brit-comedy (red dwarf) should have already seen it, but if not...well i'll excuse you as fellow browncoats watching firefly. :wink:

OMG!! Dylan ROCKS!! I got to see Dylan's standup when he was in Sydney...(that was responsibe for circumstnces that ended with BernardBrowncoat owning my soul...hmm...things you have to do to get tickets for things!!) :biggrin: it was worth it though, he was soooo funny.

i've had trouble trying to find DVDs of his standup stuff...he really doesn't seem to have a lot of merchandise-y type things around. its very annoying!! i want more Dylan and can't get anything!

(BernardBrowncoat...whats your mother's maiden name? 'what? i don't know, i just knew her as Ma!...that'll have to do.. Ma, possibly deceased...':tongue:

Why's it gotta be Black Books?

Why can't it be White Books?

6stringjack... 1 - black is the best color out there *ahem i'm a metalhead* 2 - it's the name of the show, as this threads called "Does anyone here like the show Black Books??" 3 - said show centers around a book show called 'Black Books' owned by Bernard Black, ah Bernard :biggrin:

*waves* Me! I do! But I have a weakness for any comedy involving Bill Bailey. It's the wide eyed innocence of the man. Cracks me up every time.

Aaaahhhhhhhh... that makes so much sense now. Great reply man. I was just playn'. Pretty much all of my clothes are Black or dark Blue or Brown myself. Not exactly a metal head, but I guess I'm pretty dark most of the time.

Should be called Brown Books.

The german group is Kraftwerk, the inspiration for Gary Numan and such 80's electro-pop luminaries.

And Black Books...I worked in a bookshop not dissimilar to Goliath books - well, the management wanted to be Goliath. We, the workers, were far more like Manny and Bernard. I leave you to imagine a female version of Bernard, being asked to dress up in a Peter Rabbit costume to entertain the childrens dept...

The episode with the children's book...

And Bernard's coffee...

I want to own my own bookshop one day, but I can foresee it being a cross between Black Books and the League of Gentlemen...

WHOOPS

I love this show everyone should watch it, its excellent Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are so funny. WHAT A SHOW!! I have the box set as well so i just watch it over and over.

Best episodes are the one where they house sit for a friend but then drink a £7000 bottle of wine and try and make a new one.

And...........well actually i just love all of them lol

oh yes, the wine episode is one of the greats, although it is very hard to pick just one! Bernard:'how much did you say the wine cost?' Manny:'7...thousand...pounds' Bernard:'well, i've got about 7pound on me, how about you?'

i too dream of one day owning a bookshop like Bernards, (except a bit cleaner) and allowing my inner Bernard to come out.

"No power in the 'verse can stop me!"

I love it - I love it - I love it!!!

I just love Firefly a little bit more! Actually I was house-sitting for a friend with an extensive DVD collection and she had both Black Books and Firefly on her shelf. I heard Dylan Moran on the radio one day and he was hilarious - then I decided I had to watch the DVDs and saw all 3 series in a week... if I had decided to watch Firefly first I suspect I still wouldn't have seen Black Books to this day - though they are repeating it on the ABC at the moment! (Aussie TV)

Love you all here in FFF.net! Thanks Shiney kitten! I get to be all excited about another of my favourite TV shows!

Black Books is just fantastic. It's both sad and good that they've decided to bow out on a high but the three series are beautifully preserved on three great DVDs. The commentaries are mini works of art in themselves.
