Nothing to see here.

Isn't it a bit dodgy linking to downloads of commercially available stuff on here?

Well it was more of a 'What the fuck? Kids today have it far too bloody easy' kind of post. But, aye, you're probably right.

I've made it look like nothing ever happened. I am the magic man.

Edit: And yes, they do. No old VHS copies here.

Might want to change the thread title.

Goddammit I wanted to see a flash video of Jimmy Mulville in a tunic!

Crumbs, Black Books series 2 is a laugh-free-zone, innit?

[The Duck Man]

Ohhh, I like it. I've never really understood why people think Black Books 1 is far better than 2. They're both of the same quality, I think.

Blood and The Entertainer are definite series highlights.

The only episode that ever disappointed me was the Julian Rhind-Tutt one. Rewatching it, I realised it's superb.

[lazyhour]

I base my assertion on the first 6 minutes of series 2, episode 1.  I've seen nothing else of Black Books after series 1, which I can barely remember, but seem to recall vaguely enjoying at the time.

Edit:  Wheatgod has pointed out that this makes me sound like a pompous windbag.  He's right, of course.  I can imagine saying the above with my cheeks puffed out, a pair of reading glasses perched on the end of my nose.

I do agree with you, incidentally, Jemble, that Black Books had a formula could have run and run. I think Series 3 was not as good as 1 and 2, but I think perhaps it was because they did write it on auto-pilot. It's really quite easy to think of Bernard/Manny lines. They had something very good set-up there...

[Jemble Fred]

And what happened to Moran's stage show idea? I mean, it was only a mild consolation from the realisation that the TV show was finished in the first place, and now we don't even get that?

I want Tamsin Grieg to be in something great again.

[The Duck Man]

Never heard anything about that?!

Jimmy's got the Red Dwarf US pilot up his sleeve. Bless you, Jim.
