Black Books - Series 02
2002, 142 minutes, Rated M
The BAFTA award winning Black Books is back!
In this little haven of books, wine and conversation, the only threat to the group's peace and prosperity is their own mix of limitless stupidity. Once again starring the shows creator Dylan Thomas, the hilarious Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig as the enigmatic Fran.
The Entertainer
Ever keen to distract herself, Fran takes up piano. Ever keen to delude himself, Bernard falls in love. All Manny wants is a break. But genius finds no rest as Fran lies to a sweet old blind man and Bernard the recluse deceives his adoring public.
Fever
Fran can't sleep in the heat. Bernard needs a girlfriend to stop him staring. And Manny can't say what will happen if it gets to 88 degrees. Bernard helps Fran by brushing up on the law and finds himself a 'summer bunny'. And Manny is worried about the reliability of his magic hot water bottle.
The Fixer
Manny uses his underworld connections to find Fran mysterious employment. In return all Bernard and he have to do is educate a psychopath. But will they succeed in teaching dodgy Danny to read? And how does Bernard feel at the prospect of losing his thumbs.
Blood
Unemployed and restless, Fran takes comfort in the discovery of her exotic new found cousins. In pursuit of Michelin stars, Manny and Bernard transform the infested bookshop into a restaurant. But nothing can stop the creatures taking over the shop and Fran feels the weight of the family sausage.
Hello Sun
Fran tries to discover her inner karma at the advice of her disapproving friend Eva. Bernard finds proof positive that Manny is mad. And Manny discovers a new found confidence and his 'inner king'.
A Nice Change
Bernard and Manny can't hear themselves argue because of the builders next door. Fran suggests a holiday. But how will the three of them fare when they attempt to venture abroad together?
