5.0 out of 5 stars Gives a reason to drinking, smoking and living in a bookshop, 16 April 2004

By	The Autarch of Altansar (Altansar) - See all my reviews

Having been a pious fan now of this series since its first appearence on channel 4 in 2000 and remembering Tamzin Grieg's performence in the 'Archers' and Bill Bailey's genius on 'Never Mind the Buzzcocks' and not to mention his live shows, I was compelled to watch this masterpiece of mayhem, witty depression and in Bernards case, humanity loathing and drink idolising 'This is fantastic'. The fevered bumbling, involving parents, worm costumes, 1984 style rival book shop owners (Goliath Books)(look out for the chap from Spaced) and Polar bear liquor-has the receipe for absolute comedy platinum that in my case, has never failed to impress me, causing frantic bursts of laughter and alot of side splitting. While some prefer one series or anouther I think its certainly safe to say that the whole creation is one volley after the other of intelligent- if excentric and drunken- instant hilarity. Dylan Moran has a rare talent for acting and script writing with his cohorts and thus Series 3 is yet anouther insight into the murky world of Bernard Black, Fran Katzenjammer (German for hangover) and Manny Bianco (White- get it...) his only two friends and their distorted but wonderful lives. Be wise and gather the whole collection unto yourself, its money well spent, and will encourage more series to be made. You have a duty... to yourself and anyone with a shard of humour.

5.0 out of 5 stars The final chapters, 25 Jan 2005

By	Ben "fatherdougal89" (UK, Manchester) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Black Books had everything. Hilarious, heart-warming, quirky characters you couldn't help but love. Bizzsre sub plots and situations that would always result in a great wave of laughter, such as the assassination of Mr Benson the cat, Manny and Bernard's childrens book, Manny working at a rivalling book store and the three friends endulging in a dancing competition. There are many classic moments, quotes and episodes that determine, this the third and final series of the acclaimed sitcom which superglue BLACK BOOKS ranking as one of the best comedies every produced. Fantastically funny stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Sitcom Ever, 24 Jun 2004

By A Customer

Want something totally different and outrageously funny? You've got to watch Black Books. Totally different to the schmalzy American crap, with genius scriptwriting and perfect comic timing between the three main actors. Not as gross as Two Pints of Lager, and not reliant on one-liners like Seinfeld this sitcom is totally original. Even though it's set in a shop (like Open All Hours) with a horrible boss (The Office), is based on the antics of friends and their drinking habits (Coupling) with elements of the surreal (Spaced) Black Books manages to be different from all of these in a totally unique way that catches you off guard and leave you giggling so hard that your Merlot seeps between your teeth and onto the floor.

"She's playing with fire! He's not ready for Nibbly Pig."

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the funniest British sitcoms ever
Channel 4 really messed up big time with the marketing of this series. It's a million times funnier than the Office, but it didn't get half as much publicity. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Black Books 3
Perhaps the best series of them all. Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Grieg are genuis'. The last ep in particular was wonderful.

Only one complaint. Read more

Dylan Moran is an amazing performer, he is one of the best not-working-enough actors around, and even he was bored here. Read more

Worth a look for existing fans of Moran/Bailey madness, but this series lacks the edge of the previous two. Read more
