"We can write a kid's book overnight!"

This is so hilarious. Anyone here familiar with the British sitcom Black Books?
Here's a bit form the last series that might feel familiar. The bits with the girl are funny too.

Pre-history: Fran has bet Bern and Manny £50 they can't write a kid's book by the time she gets back from her Hen Party.

Love this episode. It should go down in history.

One of many beautiful moments from Black Books.

Those who love Black Books should check out this short in which Bernard Black gets a rejection letter:

I'm not sure where it's from, as the sequence doesn't appear in the TV series. I suspect it's something that was shot as an example of Bernard's character (or just for fun) before Black Books was created.

It was an extra on one of the DVDs.

I linked to this in that 'Favourite one-liner' thread a while ago.

I'm hoping it'll get a better reception here
