Bernard Black runs his own bookshop even though he doesn't much like people
who buy books and hates having customers. Next door to Bernard's shop is
the Nifty Gifty gift shop run by Fran, probably Bernard's only friend in
the world. When Bernard's accountant goes on the run Bernard employs stress
victim, Manny to help in his shop. This leads to a series of surreal
adventures around the shop.
Meet Bernard Black. Bernard is an anti-social, heavy drinking chain-smoker
who owns a small London bookshop - an unusual vocation, given that he
detests customers and delights in physically and verbally abusing them at
every opportunity. His best (and only) friend in the world is his lunch
time drinking partner Fran, a neurotic and boyfriend-desperate woman who
owns the pretentious arts and crafts shop next to his. Bernard is cynical,
abrasive and lazy, and is perfectly happy that way - but his life takes an
unexpected turn when he sells 'The Little Book of Calm' to hyper-stressed
accountant Manny Bianco, who against all odds ends up swallowing it. When
the dust is settled, Manny will have a new job, Fran will have a new
friend, and Bernard's life will be far more surreal (if that's possible).
