I could see the three trying to launch their own review service, but since making web pages is somewhat hard, they just post things on the window of the shop.
I passed by a bookshop in Paignton, UK a few times that reminded me of Black Books. It was shabby, always closed and through the window i could see titles such as "The Manson Murders" and "The History of Screaming". Bernard Black is real.

We should all get together and open a bookshop. In a dungeon, past a volcano, in the middle of a desert island where the occasional helicopter drops a neatly packed container of wine.
“Fran.....We’re gonna have to fix you........!” Au contraire, mademoiselle! If you reach the point where you chide people for eating wheat, chocolate, and meat at least every now and then, t’is THOU who doth need the fixing!
Black Books is not for everyone & must admit I didn't like it all that much at first because Barnard is such a nasty piece of dementedness. But having seen more of this particularly after seeing these comedians in their own right & having seen the 1st half dozen episode in consecutive order - this gave me a better idea of the storyline which has helped my understanding & greater appreciation of this comedy. It's definitely very dark at times, but great writing and acting which slowly grows on one. Some episodes are naturally better than others but still find myself laughing out loud which is always a good sign for me!
Jessica Hynes' and Simon Pegg's characters are so similarly smug and condescending. The facial expressions they share are numerous between their episodes.
I wish we would all be less stuck-up about living an „unhealthy“ life. I feel a lot of today’s health-conscious life styles are actually pressure to keep yourself productive for capitalism when actually soul numbing workplaces are what makes us sick above all.
What Many does with the chicken is sucha guy thing lol this is why guys are more entertaining to hang out with. Girls gossip and fight and then guys are just fun and games x)
Vegans, yoga instructors and life coaches, i have a question: whats it like to hate yourself so much that you feel the need to ruin evrything for the rest of us?
"Spanish antifreeze". Funny how english people NEVER say something good about Spain, yet they come and come and come over and over again. By the way, our wines are pretty good, even the cheap ones.
Have you ever seen the english say anything good about anything? Even their own humour makes fun of themselves. I would guess they cant help it. Just like this episode, everyone loves each other, but they are always bickering and being nasty because they cant help it. And by the way, spain is fantastic, I have loved each trip and each minute of them. The food, the people, the scenery, the wine. Best breakfast and tap beer was gibraltar though.
What's with the animal products in every episode? It's like animal agriculture product placement. Or is torturing and eating billions of animals cool or something? Maybe I'm just an independent thinker and out of touch with what everybody else is doing.
What's with you pedantic arseholes trying to make yourselves look better than everyone else? Do you hate yourself so much you have to put people under you?
"Why do you always have to make the bacon so curly?" XD
" Sometimes between the first cigarette with coffee in the morning to that four hundredth glass of corner shop piss at 3am, you do sometimes look at yourself and think; This is fantastic."
Ron Pogue The best line in the entire series.
@@CaptainLumpyDog It's quite an inspiring lifestyle, if only one could actually get away with it...
Tdc Willies And not die within four years ;)
Yep, Ron Pogue, that tickled me, too. I don't smoke cigarettes, but I do quaff a fair bit of Chateau Cardboard Dry Red - and Scotch on the rocks!
One of my absolute favourite lines!
Got to love that Bernard still smokes when shaving 😂
"In Tibet, when they want something, do you know what they do? They give something away!"
"Do they? Do they? That must be why they're such a dominant global power."
Briliant back answer from Bernard 😂😁😂
Glorious roast
gotta love the pole dancing chicken lmao
"what's wrong with fuckin peas!" that cracks me up
The gas-lighting battle between Bernard and Manny is what makes this episode so incredible. And that's why it will always be my favorite.
Even more terrifying when you know one of these people personally.
Im confused isn't just Bernard gaslighting Manny the entire time?
Fran's laugh is the best at the end
And casual saying fuck
That entire scene is incredibly done.
"That must be why they're such a dominant global power" brilliant!
Of course said advice was only for the ordinary Tibetans. Ruling clerics didn't give things away.
And yes Bernard's response was great.
Piss poor bogun!
Except that Tibet isn’t a country, but rather a province of China, so they actually are a global power.
@@a.tanner8524 well true- touché! Still one of my favourite Bernard Black quotes, though
@@oliverholmes-gunning5372 And the The practice of Yoga comes from Hinduism, Meditation is a part of Hinduism and Buddhism
Fraaan, we'll fix you...
That sounded ominous as hell. Brilliant acting.
Even more ominous when you know one of these people personally.
"This is fantastic, i'm in heaven"
😂😁😂

Imagine the Google reviews of the bookshop
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Best comment!

Moran and Bailey are brilliant comedians, but Greig is a brilliant actor.
Agree!! :) She's amazing!!
Ever see her in Green Wing and Friday Night Dinner. Hilarious.
The best!

@@Lee-nh5bb and it is there for all the posterity to cherish and love
Bernard's "so.............. Hop it" is just beautifully done
Watched this series a million times and it’s still brilliantly awesome XD
Stripping the chicken. Such a great bit.
And now Dylan's smoke and booze free. Oh the irony 🤣🤣
Not now
Fran chomping away on the chocolate cake 😅😂!
I love how the actor for Eva can go from spaces to character like this so different lol
I have ONLY seen this episode a few times . It's like winning a little ole lottery .
I just realised this is the only episode of Black Books in which the word fuck is used.
GASP
Still my favourite episode of the series. Jam-packed with brilliance.
Fran at the end was fucking grand 😂
Bernard was actually being calm, to his credit.
this is fantastique, i am in heaven.
Entire episode was great, but my favourite moment must be the ending with Fran 🤣
Fran is great
Did anyone notice the writing on the board?
No Prehensiling.
ROFL :D
non-english speaker her. what does that mean?
@@Chenzana It's not a real word I think, but prehensile refers to something used to grab, like your hands, or an animal's tail. So I guess "No grabbing"?
@@MrFredd38 oh, thank you
The boards always an added fun bit 😹
There is always a little gem in the background on the blackboard if you look for it. No prehensiling means no stealing.
Why did you do that!!! 😂😂😂
If only therapy worked that easily.
i want to live like this

Binging on these. They simply keep standing up. Thank ye for posting them. Adult beverages are indicated. *hiccup*

A weed cookie goes with it very well, also

YES
Smoking while shaving 😂
22:13 that was the genial highlight of this whole episode...and it's a very good episode
Fran is the sexiest woman I've ever seen.
She is so broken, yet so charismatic. One has to love her.

It’s so unbelievably awesome ! Lllllove it!
Bill Bailey is great. Dylan Moran is great. Aaah
Fran!!! Lol

nice finishing with a touch of psychodrama
Would have been better if they added a final scene with Fran at psychologist.

Striping the chicken
The chicken striptease was fucking hilarious!
always cheers me up

For the love of God... it's comedy. You either laugh or you don't. Laugh? Watch another one. Don't? Watch something else.
Fran is cute when she's drunk. 22:15
Fran is the best.
Did they put you on steroids?!
Awesome episode.
"You don't need horrible cigarettes or gallons of booze to feel normal..."
...but it certainly fucking helps!
I swear I'm Fran
The way he refused the chicken wing was mean ;_;
My own son 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know why I hate Bernard? He's exactly like me.
