B-B-B

Ive always been a great fan of British Drama and Comedy. Probably my earliest memories are of Dr.Who, Fawlty Towers, Monty Python , Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and eventually Red Dwarf, Big Train, Space, and Blunder. There is a lot to be offered here in the UK, though you do have to wade thru a lot of rubbish to get to it. Id like to focus on just a singular individual here, for those of you who may not have previous experience with Brit Comedy. About 3 years ago I was introduced to a tv series (which was already off air by the time I got to it, figures.) called Blackbooks. Blackbooks is a charming piece of brit-com which I really am not even going to try to explain to you here, it is just too good. Not only does it star Dylan Moran, the most bittersweet Irishman on the planet, but it also has Bill Bailey, who is a friggan genius musician/comedian/actor.

So I present to you the Bill Bailey Block. 3 of my favourite BB skits, scrounged off of Youtube, the land of magical happenings and strange oddities. Enjoy.
