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.
