please forgive my lack of the letter e in the word series!

Yeah that was the 3rd series, he was dressed as a worm. bernard made him do it

I love Grapes Of Wrath. Any episode that has Bill Bailey popping up from underneath a table like a startled rabbit with his hair in bunches gets my vote

I've got the box set. Was off ill from work yesterday and spent the day on the couch watching black books. Back to work now, guess laughter is the best medicene.

Black Books is the sort of comedy that becomes funnier the more you watch it IMO. Yes, we pronounce Bernard BER-nard.

I found myself thining about this series the other day, and wondering what happens next with the characters. Actually, I was thinking of GW, then how good it will be when I finally get a DVD and can get The Travel Writer, then Tamsin Grieg, wondering 'does she have a romance with Bernard?' I can't really picture Dylan Moran in a romantic scene.

I saw sexy Gabriel Byrne on Conan O'Brien, and he was pushing his fingers through his hair as he was speaking, and I was reminded of Moran again. Do all Irishmen use their hair as an accessory to communication?

I wonder if we will get series 2 of BB on BBCamerica? Not too soon I hope, if we do, since I don't have cable now.

No, they don't get it together. That's one of the attractions really as you can definitely sense a little 'something' simmering ever-so slightly below the surface with Fran and Bernard.

Can't remember which series this episode is in as one of my friends also has my box-set at the moment, but I love the shipping forecast one. Fran meets an old flame who has a really deep voice that drives her wild. He tells her he reads the shipping forecast on the radio, so she listens in bed whilst... erm... enjoying herself shall we say. Hilarious! I bet that one won't get through the American sensors!!

I think that ep. was part of season one, I remember Fran being crazed by someone's voice, because I'm like that too, sometimes. I don't remember a scene of her in bed, though, I suppose they cut that out.

Black books is one of the funniest comedies ever created - and Dylan Moran is gorgeous - much better than the guy from green wing (Mac) he looks like a woman - Guy is sexier than him! (actually Guy did get alright towards the end)

Black Books is so under-rated! It's hilarious..

4 on demand (available thru telewest) have the whole first season to view and am looking forward to caatching up on this gem...

Bet you feel robbed.. robbed of the hours you sat and watched it..

I haven'tseen Black books since it was first on.
But I remember the subbuteo player in the security door fitter's hair was simply inspired. I remenber how happy I was when I saw that. It just summed up to me how magical Linehan and Matthews; either together or on their own, can be.
