Episode 1

Bernard, the most ridiculous bookstore owner in London, runs a strange shop called Blake's Bookstore.His bookstore was distinctive, characterized by its messy environment, haphazard opening hours and chaotic financial situation.Bernard is unkempt every day and treats customers as he pleases. Sometimes he even uses a loudspeaker and a broom to drive away customers who don't want to leave.His laziness also makes him often reluctant to order books, causing the bookstore to be in short supply.


As eccentric as Bernard is, he has a very good female friend, Fran.Fran opened a boutique next to the bookstore. Her shop was clean and tidy, in sharp contrast to Bernard's bookstore.Although Fran has a habit of collecting strange things and an exaggerated and forgetful character, her kindness and enthusiasm allow her to establish a deep friendship with Bernard.The two often get together to chat and share trivia about each other's lives.


One day, Blake's Bookstore welcomed a special guest-Manny.Manny urgently needs to find a very small book because he believes that only reading this book can restore his mood.Bernard found the book in a bookstore and sold it to Manny.However, Bernard was tired of doing business at this time, so he picked up a loudspeaker and shouted for customers to leave, and he closed the door early.

Episode 1

Bernard goes to Fran and tells her that he has recently collected another strange object, but neither of them can determine what it is.Later, Bernard went to find an accountant to settle the accounts, but found that he was looking for a liar.In desperation, he could only try to calculate the accounts by himself, but due to carelessness, he always made mistakes.When he saw the clause in the book that stated that people with recent injuries could be exempted from tax, he went out of his way to find someone to beat him up so that he could enjoy the tax-free treatment.

At the same time, Fran was so obsessed with researching her new gadgets that she forgot the important thing about Julie giving birth.This forgetful character often puts her in embarrassing situations, but her optimism and cheerfulness can always resolve any embarrassment.
