Black Books《布莱克书店》
Any writer who offers a comedy where the intent is to ‘…cram as much elaborate stupidity into a half hour…’ is likely to need a very real situation and balance it with a keen eye for absurdity in modern life. Writer Dylan Moran and co-creator Graham Linehan did that to perfection in 2000 with the story of a people-hating bookshop owner in the hit comedy Black Books. The British sitcom starring comedians Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey is about a bad-tempered, eccentric bookshop owner and his long-suffering assistant Manny. Offbeat and quirky show that hasn’t lost its fun since it originally aired.
如果一部喜剧想要“……在半个小时里尽可能多地塞进各种精心设计的蠢事……”,那它的编剧很可能需要一个非常真实的情景,还得以捕捉现代生活荒谬之处的敏锐眼光加以平衡。编剧迪兰·莫兰和联合编剧格雷厄姆·莱恩汉在2000年播出的大热喜剧《布莱克书店》中完美呈现了这一点,该剧讲述了一个孤僻厌世的书店老板的故事。这部英国情景喜剧由喜剧演员迪兰·莫迪及比尔·贝利主演,故事围绕脾气暴躁、性格古怪的书店老板和他吃苦耐劳的助手曼尼展开。自开播以来,这部荒诞另类的喜剧从未让找乐的观众失望。
