Black Books returns this Thursday on Channel 4.

Dylan Moran plays Bernard - the cigarette smoking, alcoholic, misanthropic, bookshop owner. Bill Bailey is the sweet, almost childlike, Manny. Tamsin Greig as Fran - the alcoholic, manizer (this word doesn't exist, but probably should). Following in the footsteps of fellow Spaced cadets Nick Frost and Jessica Stevenson, Simon Pegg will make a guest appearance this series too. As an aside, Shaun of the Dead is due out soon.
