ALRIGHT THE SHOP IS CLOSED EVERYBODY GET OUT!, 29 August 2003
Author: phoozledoo from tiverton

If you don't laugh at Black Books, then you haven't got a sense of humour. This is one of the funniest things I've seen in years!! I always worshipped the ground that Arthur Mathews and Graham Linehan walked on for Father Ted and Ted and Ralph, but now Dylan Moran is added to my list (Bill Baily and Tamsin Grieg to, even though they didn't write it).
