For the record: Dylan Moran and Bill Bailey are comedic geniuses

1. Absolutely.

"Look at him. Half Iago, half Fu Manchu, all bastard."

Amazon says the first season will be released on DVD in North America next week!
Of course, if you have a region-free player, you can import all three seasons, as well as Dylan Moran's brilliant stand-up special, "Monster".

And Bill's "Half Troll" as well.

6. Do you know this Bailey site?

It's got the Bewilderness set, recorded in New York:

as well as a lot of other assorted goodness.

Personally, I love Bailey's musical stuff best. Favorites are probably:

Beautiful Ladies (in honour of Chris de Burgh)

and Tom Waits performs Three Blind Mice

Graham Linehan (who wrote the first series of Black Books & co-wrote Father Ted, plus had a hand in some of the great 90's comedy series') has got a new series starting very, very soon over here called "The I.T. Crowd". It was shot in front of an audience (yeah!) and stars Richard Ayoade, who was in a series you'd probably like if you can find it - Garth Marenghi's Darkplace*. It also features Chris Morris, whom I still hold in the highest esteem despite Nathan Barley being utter pants.

*allegedly this is the first episode:

9. They used to have a sitcom over in the UK called Black Books

One of the funniest shows I've ever seen. Their stand-up comedy is also really great.
