I have all the Black Books dvds although I bought them seperately for £7 each with a student discount on top of that.
This has got to be my favourite tv series of all time. Even though I have seen each episode a million times, it still makes me laugh til I cry.
I think the best moments are when Manny is dressed as a bookworm for the story telling, when his parents come to visit and there is the little bar under the resturant table, when manny works in the next door bookshop and when the blind piano teachers come to hear Fran play but its really Manny inside the piano with spoons!
The main characters are Bernard, Manny and Fran. Bill Bailey is my favourite comedian and he is great as Manny. All three are great comedy genius's and they play their parts so well.
All of their series are based around the consumption of alcohol and they get through many a bottle of wine in every episode.
I started watching this when I was in my early teens, my whole family love it and its something we always watch together and all laugh!
If you like Bill Baileys style of comedy, then you will love this series. There are 3 dvds with about 8 episodes on each. Its not really suitable for young children as there is a lot of swearing and alcohol consumption.
It used to be shown on channel 4 but they never do repeats anymore so your best off buying the dvd. If your a student make sure you get it in HMV or Zavvi for the discount.
