Black Books

When his dodgy accountant goes on the run, Bernard (Dylan Moran) finds himself having to fill in his own tax return - not the easiest thing when you're mathematically illiterate. Perhaps some sort of crippling injury is the way out? Or perhaps the strange bearded man (Bill Bailey) who comes into the shop and asks for The Little Book of Calm will provide the key? With Tamsin Greig. Adult humour.

Bernard, having offered Manny the job while drunk, does his best to get rid of his new charge by offering a one-day trial to see if the suspiciously modern-looking assistant is up to scratch. Adult humour.

The discomforting presence in the bookshop of an oddly sensual cleaner forces Bernard and Manny to accept a house-sitting job where they proceed to drink an unbelievably expensive bottle of wine. Adult humour.

Manny, hyper after a night of drinking too many espressos and watching an entire box-set of The Sweeney, is mistaken for a policeman after his high-speed pursuit of a bagsnatcher. Adult humour.

The installation of a new security system for the shop that neither Bernard nor Manny can operate, results in Bernard being locked out for the evening, while Manny is locked in. Adult humour.

Manny becomes a runaway when Bernard's relentless bossiness gets too much for him. But life is tough on the street, so when a photographer offers him a place to stay he's happy to take up the offer. Adult humour.
