Fun Trivia : Quizzes : Black Books : "Black Books": "Fever"

Introduction:
"I present to you, here, today, a "Black Books" quiz. In this episode, Manny is affected by a strange syndrome when the heat begins to get to him. Enjoy, and good luck!"


1. In the beginning of the episode, we see Manny in a dramatic scene involving sunglasses and sideways looks. What is Manny actually doing in this scene, though?
    Getting change from the bank.
    Going to the shop for a loaf of bread.
    Buying three 99s (ice creams with flakes).
    Nipping to the supermarket for milk.


2. Throughout this episode, Manny keeps asking Bernard what the temperature is, but refuses to let either Bernard or Fran know why. When Bernard tells Manny that he doesn't "want to know why I (Bernard) want to know", Manny tells all. What is his excuse?
    At 88 degrees Fahrenheit, his "Dave's Syndrome" kicks in.
    At 39 degrees Celsius, he passes out because of his odd blood type.
    At 100 degrees Celsius, he melts. Because he's actually a man of ice.
    At 97 degrees Fahrenheit, he gets a sudden and uncontrollable craving for pie...


3. What is the name of the holiday novel that is being sold in Black Books throughout this episode?
    "Tempocalypse"
    "The Judas Boogie"
    "Blue Sands"
    "Wendy and the Oustanding Grapefruit of Gomorrah"


4. One hot and sticky night, Fran wakes up to find that the walls of her flat are moving in on her. Her side wall ends up being right next to her bed, and this ends up causing her a lot of lost sleep. Why was this happening?
    There was a strange and unexpected earthquake in Stephen Square.
    The people who lived next door hate Fran, and have been slowly taking all of the skirting board screws out. They only just finished and started moving the walls that night.
    The size of her flat was being a drain on the landlord's funds, which is also why he had to increase the rent. The cost of lightbulbs, you see.
    A new flat is being created next door to her without her knowledge.


5. Bernard tells Manny that there are to be no "malingerers" in his shop, as Manny is in a blind panic about the increasing temperature. In an attempt to make him useful, Bernard tells Manny to get him his "lolly". What is Bernard's "lolly" made out of?
    Answer: (One Word, an alcoholic drink)


6. When Bernard finally finds himself a summer girlfriend in flat 2B, he soon becomes infatuated with her. Which of the following things does he not send to her as a token of his undying, desperate, "I-don't-want-to-be-alone-for-the-summer" love?
    Truffles
    Poems
    An accordion
    Wine


7. With the walls of her flat still moving, and her living space ever decreasing in size, Fran is tired and desperate to have her own space again. She decides to go and see the landlord. What does she offer him?
    Accordion lessons
    Herself
    A Nana Mouskouri album, and tickets to her next show
    Money


8. In an attempt to make Manny overheat, Bernard forces him to wear a thermal anorak, ug boots, and a filled hot water bottle. Realising that he's getting too hot, Manny tries to cool himself down, but what with?
    An industrial fan
    A refrigerator
    The power of the mind
    Ice cubes


9. In this episode, Manny has been selling chilled books straight from a small fridge next to Bernard's desk, to help customers of the shop cool off in the uncomfortable heat. To make sure Manny overheats, Bernard has moved all of the books out of the small fridge and into the oven.
    True
    False


10. It finally all gets too hot for Manny, and as Fran and Bernard are walking towards the pub for a drink, Manny is suffering from the effects of the heat. What is he doing, unbeknownst to Bernard and Fran?
    Sat in the corner of the book shop, holding a toy doll with no arms, chanting "My baby isn't growing, my baby isn't growing".
    Jumping on the hood of a car holding a fire torch, wearing only a hot water bottle and the words "eat me" painted on his chest.
    Terrorising the staff at Iceland.
    Working in a small, quirky taverna in southern Sicily, going by the name "Mrs. Estherhouse".
