Series 2, Episode 6 - A Nice Change
A change is as good as a rest when Bernard, Manny and Fran decide to escape the madness and go on holiday.
Further details
As if it was at all possible, the bookshop is made even less appealing by the noisy 24-hour reconstruction going on next door. The trio decide to escape the commotion and jet off on holiday for the complete re-fit's two week duration.
The unbelievably cheap flights come with a few conditions attached - and this doesn't just affect the quality of in-flight meals (as if it could). There is also an unpleasant discovery to be made upon their return - aside from Bernard's inability to remove Fran's thongs from his person.
