Dylan Moran - B4 Black Books
While the idea for the decidedly three-dimensional character of Bernard Black from Black Books (drinking, smoking and reading) came from the genius minds of Moran and Linehan, what many British situation comedy fans may not remember is that Dylan Moran got his first major television role several years prior to Black Books in a series called, How Do You Want Me?
Bill Young, Tellyspotting, 24th May 2012Those who live amidst difficult situations assess their life in markedly different ways depending on their state of mind. It's this kind of perceptive writing - along with top jokes - that has made How Do You Want Me? something of a treat. Let's hope for more, but not for too much more.
Jack Kibble-White, Off The Telly, 22nd December 1999It is a poignant, lovely looking series which will make you howl out loud at least once like a scatter of buckshot in the buttocks. Guaranteed.
Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 16th December 1999Moran is the funniest actor on television bar none and not on it half enough. His style is relaxed to the point of dislocation. He looks as if he has wandered on to the set by accident, perhaps to read the gas meter.
