This collection of episodes are among the funniest I have ever seen, with comedians, Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey, they work well together as a comedy double act, with Tamsin Grieg joining as a third party to add to the fun.
The Plot The story revolves around the bookshop (Black Books) where Bernard (the shopkeeper, played by Dylan Moran) has a habit of hugely disliking his customers, but all of a sudden, Manny, (played by Bill Bailey) with his hawaiian shirts and long hair, and is offered a job by a very intoxicated Bernard. Fran, who owns the shop next door immediately likes Manny, and becomes a firm friend, much to Bernards distain! Each episode is another comedy filled day inside the four walls of the bookshop.
The Characters Each of the characters have their own special habits and style of acting with the others, which gives each episode a fairly repetitive streak, however, this , in my experience, has not made them boring, or sameish, but just funnier, and enables the viewer to connect with the characters on a certain level. The level of acting, particularly by Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey is extrememly high.
The Humour The humour in this DVD is very frequent, and there are many different types of humour involved, whether it be somone in a worm costume falling over, or a game of truth-spin-the-bottle going horribly wrong at a hen night, there is definitely something for everyone!
I would most certantly recommend this collection to anyone who likes a good laugh!
