    This is my favourite show on TV. The simple humor is great and it will have you crying from laughter. The only problem with this show is that there are not enough episodes. Maybe I am just greedy and want more.

    A very interesting comedy. Often dark and dour, Dylan Moran delivers his signature drunk and stumbling delivery here to much acclaim. An excellent British comedy.

    'Black Books' is simply flawless - it has hilarious jokes, modest effects, and original characters. A definite must-see for anybody who has taste in striking comedy.

    A really good classic UK comedy, thanks to the talent of Graham Linehan the characters are so unique and funny in there own way. One of the best UK comedy's

    Very very funny. Dylan Moran is a genius, it's that simple. Great cast, great laughs and great times had by all. A few episodes miss the mark, but otherwise TV gold.

    Brilliant comedy. Right there on my list of the best 5 comedy series of all time. Original characters. Black humour at times, smart at others. And totally re-watchable! BRILLIANT!

    'You know, with the astronauts and the 'We did it at the end!'
    Dylan Moran consistently dazzles with his cynical and dark demeanour in a simple yet existential humour noir series. Accompanied by his clueless worker and eccentric neighbour, they deliver a non-stop roll of humour to have you jumping out of your seat!
    'It isn't possible that you might be mistaken?'
