About a year and a half ago, practically nothing else was spoken about on this forum but Black Books. It is indeed utter genius Pumpkin which as you can see is perfectly represented by a pumpkin.

I was given the DVD box set of this for Christmas and have watched it repeatedly since - it's BRILLIANT! How on earth did I miss it when it was first shown?!?!?! Anyone else a fan?

I quite like it. In fact I'm surprised I don't like it more than I do, as it's clearly brilliant.

I just saw Bill Bailey in the street, toting a small child and looking grumpy.

Yeh, I discovered it well late compared to everyone else. Now I only get to see it when I visit my ex because he's got millions of them. Unless it's going to be repeated again.

lol..what's wrong with that?

i like saying cup..i don't care to swear Wink

and what i meant was that shows are always by "the people who brought you"..that is to say, that the same person who wrote one show is allowed to write 6 more rather than allowing someone else a pop at it...that was my point..sorry if it was badly communicated ( no high school)

Fair enough but BB was one of the originals (TV-wise anyway) - the people involved hadn't brought us anything else!

Yup, Tamsin was in BB before Green Wing and those other things she's been in. I can't remember what they are now, but they are mainstream things....oh Love Soup

Hi Everyone,

I'm new here, and new to Black Books. I was a fan of Bill Bailey's stand up stuff and decided to give it a try. I LOVE it and I've still got the second and third series to look forward to. I've even loaded it onto my MP4 player, to cheer myself up on my lunchbreaks at work.

I just love the way it's so surreal, yet human. As you can tell from my username, Manny is my favourite character (at the moment anyway).
