Black Books repeats on More 4

[sistermoon]

Thanks to More 4 for repeating these during a month when there seemed to be little else but murder miseries on! They showed my favourite episode - 'The Entertainer', where Fran is learning to play the piano, Manny wants time off and Bernard wants to date a girl.

It ends up with Manny playing the piano from underneath to fool a blind piano tutor, while Bernard is trying to impress his date! The tune that's in this episode, Beethoven's 'Rage Over A Lost Penny', also cropped up in an ITV3 repeat of their 'Jane Eyre' series, during a soiree sequence. And, yes, I was expecting to see Bill Bailey under the piano with the spoons! ;D

Thanks for reminding us about that superb episode of Black books- sureal comedy at its best!
