Black Books was a British television comedy shown on Channel 4 staring Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig set in a independent book shop in London. Black Books is the name of the shop owned by drunken owner Bernard Black (played brilliantly by Dylan Moran) who is far more interested in alcohol, cigarettes and reading rather than selling anything. Bill Baily plays Manny Bianco and Tasmin Greig plays Fran Katzenjammer who spend many of the show episodes trying to get Bernard to participate in the wider world, something he has little enthusiasm to do (like his book selling skills).
