Um, Bewilderness isn't bad at all, he takes a while to get going but once he does he's very funny. It's not as good as Peter Kay At The Top Of The Tower, but it's worth getting for, say, 15 quid from play.com.

The only downside was that they showed it on telly about a week after I bought it. The only extras are the interview which is an ok 10 minutes and the shed game, which is a nice idea but forgettable. The picture quality is quite obviously from video, but the mastering of it is fine, no artifacts that I noticed, but I dunno about edge enhancement as I never spot it at the best of times.

From the R2 Project (http://www.r2-dvd.org):

"Apparently "Black Books" is presented 16:9 anamorphic. The extras are as follows: Full episode commentaries from Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey and Tamsin Greig, Out-Takes,Series 2 teaser trailer and Photo Library."

Can't wait :D

Thanks everyone.

Checked out bewilderness last night, and very impressed.

Picture and sound are good, bill is great.

Takes a while to warm up (as he admits) but i think thats part of the charm.

brilliant.
