No More Black Books...

    Bernard Black has sold up it seems. According to Dylan Moran he's had enough of it and says there's no point in writing any more....

    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,2774-1090680,00.html
    Black Books, with Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig — saw Moran write and star as the cantankerous Bernard Black, a Bloomsbury bookseller who prefers red wine to people. The show has just finished its third and final series to a chorus of pleas for more.

    Moran isn’t interested. “I think we’ve done it, and people enjoyed it, and that’s what we were after. There’s a risk of undermining the whole enthusiasm we had at the outset.

    Mike.

    Yeah it's probably the right time to stop - only a few of series three were up to the standard of series 1 and 2

    Yeah, it was beginning to lack in scope as well, they were relying more and more on getting away from the bookshop. Would be nice to see the crew get together for a new project (hopefully).

    Kudos to Moran. He could milk it dry but I'm rather glad he's not going to.

    I will miss it, but it's better than kicking the @rse out of it.
