Bernard Black is back for a third season of his multi-award winning and critically acclaimed comedy. Black Books continues to explore the musing and time-wasting techniques of raddled proprietor Bernard Black, his shy, multi-challenged assistant Manny Bianco and their underachieving friend Fran Katzenjammer.

《极品基老伴》主演雅各比爵士昨天在BAFTA典礼上无意透露了该剧续订第2季的消息。搞笑的是他接受采访的腔调居然延续了剧中角色的风格：“他（麦克莱恩）跑去拍电影了啦，现在没空——让上帝诅咒他！直到明年5月我们才会再这么来一次。”《基老伴》在ITV台播出后大受好评，刚提前完成今年圣诞集的拍摄。
