The german group is Kraftwerk, the inspiration for Gary Numan and such 80's electro-pop luminaries.
And Black Books...I worked in a bookshop not dissimilar to Goliath books - well, the management wanted to be Goliath. We, the workers, were far more like Manny and Bernard. I leave you to imagine a female version of Bernard, being asked to dress up in a Peter Rabbit costume to entertain the childrens dept...

The episode with the children's book...
And Bernard's coffee...
I want to own my own bookshop one day, but I can foresee it being a cross between Black Books and the League of Gentlemen...

I love this show everyone should watch it, its excellent Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are so funny. WHAT A SHOW!! I have the box set as well so i just watch it over and over.
Best episodes are the one where they house sit for a friend but then drink a £7000 bottle of wine and try and make a new one.
And...........well actually i just love all of them lol

oh yes, the wine episode is one of the greats, although it is very hard to pick just one!
Bernard:'how much did you say the wine cost?'
Manny:'7...thousand...pounds'
Bernard:'well, i've got about 7pound on me, how about you?'
i too dream of one day owning a bookshop like Bernards, (except a bit cleaner) and allowing my inner Bernard to come out.

I love it - I love it - I love it!!!
I just love Firefly a little bit more! Actually I was house-sitting for a friend with an extensive DVD collection and she had both Black Books and Firefly on her shelf. I heard Dylan Moran on the radio one day and he was hilarious - then I decided I had to watch the DVDs and saw all 3 series in a week... if I had decided to watch Firefly first I suspect I still wouldn't have seen Black Books to this day - though they are repeating it on the ABC at the moment! (Aussie TV)
Love you all here in FFF.net! Thanks Shiney kitten! I get to be all excited about another of my favourite TV shows!

Black Books is just fantastic. It's both sad and good that they've decided to bow out on a high but the three series are beautifully preserved on three great DVDs. The commentaries are mini works of art in themselves.
