On World Book Day, I just have to remind you about the masterpiece of a series Black Books — the one they went and cancelled, even though the ratings were top-notch.

On World Book Day you want to remind us about a TV show? Which is not actually about books?

ЄIf I say that the idea of starting my own library and the first list of books I made came from this series — will that excuse me? Or should I just crawl into a hole? ;)

Is it a council-permitted hole?

Love me some Black Books!

Another great show is Father Ted!

This is such a wonderful show, haven't thought about it in a long time. Guess I will searching for it in some streaming Services right now :)

I wasn’t even sure if this series was real or if I just dreamed it :) it’s barely mentioned anywhere.

Yes, it's strange that it isn't more popular.

Especially considering it was created by the same guy as IT crowd! Check out his earlier work Father Ted too, it's hilarious in an old school BBC kind of way
