A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Black Books is silly and goofy and about a group of messy, mostly useless slobs... and I loved every single minute of it! What great entertainment.Black Books is absolutely one of my very favourite television programmes of all time. I really loved the characters and the silly situations they would get involved in. There were laughs from start to finish.The episode where they drink then foolishly try to replace the priceless wine for the Pope... the episode where she takes piano lessons from a blind man... the episode where they just try to go on vacation...What a brilliant show! Will make you smile.

Bernard Black, a paranoid, brooding, wine loving cynic running a small public bookshop. Fran, the best friend...wine loving and love starved. Manny, store assistant with a helpful spirit. The trio all deliver their own comedy in perfect balance with each other. I love how this show displays the glaring defects in each of them, yet underneath you can see what holds them all together and keeps them going.For me, watching this show is like settling down in a comfortable nook and...reading a book. The main set itself is like small, hermit-like wooden paneled cave. Yet there takes place so much chaos.The guest appearances are alone worth a watch, featuring actors such as Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Rob Brydon, Martin Freeman, and many more.So check it out!

*Spoiler/plot- Black Books, 2000. A snide disgruntled Irish X-pat owns a bookstore and surround himself with other cynical friends who vent on all around them to produce comedy.*Special Stars- Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, Tamsin Greig.*Theme- Dysfunctional people in a local English books store are very funny to laugh at.*Trivia/location/goofs- The star is writer and producer of this series. British TV series, 18 episodes. Half hour.*Emotion- This show is a dark humor, but real human personality based show. Clever writing and excellent performances make this show a little gem and should not be missed for dry British comedy fans.

This comedy with Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tasmin Grieg is one not to be missed. It is truly hilarious, with not only great one-liners but also farce elements. The character of Bernard Black is played superbly by Moran and plays beautifully off Fran (Grieg) and Manny (Bailey). One of the best British comedies, from Graham Lineham, who also wrote Father Ted and The IT Crowd. It is a pity there are only three series of this wonderfully smart, witty and laugh-out-loud show. Each story is full of great moments, but it is the character from which the comedy stems. The direction and writing are superb and the acting by the main cast is outstanding.
