The second series of the multi-award winning and critically acclaimed comedy from Channel 4. Black Books stars creator and co-writer Dylan Moran with Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig.
Bernard Black (Dylan Moran) proprietor of the grubby bookshop Black Books prefers the company of his books to his customers. Devoted to the twin pleasures of excessive drinking and wilful antagonism Bernard enriches his life and the lives of his only two friends Manny (Bill Bailey) and Fran (Tamsin Greig) in the process.
In this second collection of episodes Bernard finds proof positive that Manny is mad; Manny worries about the reliability of his magic hot water bottle and uses his underworld connections to help the recently unemployed Fran find a job. Fran struggles to find her inner karma in-between trying to find her cigarettes and making excuses to have another drink.
Under constant threat from the nasty unfeeling outside world the characters in Black Books attempt to maintain the haven of the bookshop even as their own talent for relentless stupidity pitches them towards mayhem.

Fever
The Fixer

This is the best season of Black Books that was made and like the others it is depressingly short. Bernard, Manny and Fran return into their neurotic and extremely like-able characters. It is very easy to find yourself wishing that such a bookshop existed and to encounter the inhabitants. Once again very funny, with incredibly witty dialogue. The actors had amazing chemistry and the dark humour is characteristic of Dylan Moran. A definite must ahve for any fan of the show.
The second series of this wonderful British comedy, this DVD contains all six episodes, and if you’ve watched the first season, it’s pretty much more of the same. The writing has improved a little though (not that it needed it) and there’s a bit of an effort to explore the relationships between the three protagonists. However, that doesn’t detract from the comedy at all, and the series is as hilarious as ever, with the comedy based on slapstick, physical gags and situation comedy. The three actors have really warmed to their roles too, and are superbly convincing as their characters. A wonderful DVD that will put a smile on your face.
