JUST FINISHED WATCHING: BLACK BOOKS (2000–2004)

TRIVIA: Bernard is inspired by a real bookshop owner in Dublin, who Dylan Moran described as "He looks like he's swallowed a cup of sour milk and peed himself at the same time. He has this green bilious expression, years of displeasure have shaped his face."

Manny's last name, Bianco (Italian for "white"), is the counterpart to Bernard Black.

Tamsin Greig was pregnant during the filming of season one.

The bookshelf behind Bernard's desk has "Property of St. John and Red Cross Hospital Library Dept." stamped on it.

Dylan Moran played a bookshop shoplifter in Notting Hill (1999).
