The foul-tempered and wildly eccentric bookshop owner Bernard Black (Dylan Moran) is back for a second season. Bernard's devotion to the twin pleasures of drunkenness and willful antagonism deepens and enriches both his life and that of Manny (Bill Bailey), his assistant. Bearded, gentle, sweet and good, Manny is everything that Bernard isn't and is punished by Bernard relentlessly just for the crime of existing. They depend on each other for meaning as Fran (Tamsin Greig), their oldest friend, depends on them for distraction.
BBC Home Video has announced the second season of
Black Books for release on
November 14. The single-disc will contain all 6 episodes in Anamorphic Widescreen (1.78:1) video. The show stars Dylan Moran (Notting Hill; Shaun of the Dead), Bill Bailey (Shaun of the Dead; The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Tamsin Greig (Shaun of the Dead).
We'll post artwork, and hopefully some information on extras, when they become available.
