We have learned at this stage that anything Graham Linehan puts his hand to turns to gold. Black Books was certainly no exception. The comedy which revolved around a drunk, cranky bookseller called Bernard, his slightly crazy employee, Manny, and a fellow drunk but hilarious friend, Fran. We learned so much from there. Here are eleven things we learned from Black Books.
1. This is the only acceptable way to drink alcohol.
LOLLY!
2. Actually, you just need to drink all the time.
It’s fine, you’re the boss.
3. You must have a summer romance.
It’s good for the soul. Just try not to get too attached.

Like this.
