We look back on the pilot episode of Black Books, where Bernard is introduced as a disorganised fop who struggles with his tax return after his accountant becomes a fugitive from the law. Manny the stressed out desk jockey, who swallows The Little Book of Calm. And Fran, the flighty owner of Nifty Gifts, a shop that specialises in a lot of wank. We'll all been there, and we discuss our own difficulty with tear-inducing form-filling, door-to-door sales and Millwall FC.
