This is one of the best British comedies of the last decade. Starring Dylan Moran as Bernard Black , owner of a small bookshop, and Bill Bailey as Manny, his trusty assistant.
Its a similar sort of comedy to Father Ted, and the first series was written by same writer, Graham Lineham.
The characters are strong, and the gags are plenty. This series has me laughing out loud so much. Each episode sees the duo having one funny scenario after another, with Bernard Blacks drinking leading to plenty of jokes, and his antagonism supplying many of the one liners, with banter ensuing.
Support, if needed, is supplied by Bernard and Mannys friend and fellow shop keeper, Fran, played by Tamsin Grieg. Highly Recommended!!!!!
