Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is Manny's profession before he comes to work at Black Books?

Answer: Accountant

Manny hates his job. The first time he and Bernard Black meet is when he runs into the bookshop to buy a copy of 'The Little Book of Calm', in an attempt to make him less stressed out at work.
2. Why does Manny claim he has to eat lots of fudge?

Answer: It stops him going deaf

Manny has a lot of interesting rules like this. He also claims that must never, under any circumstances, be allowed to travel in a van.
3. What is Manny's surname?

Answer: Bianco

Fran's is Katzenjammer, and Bernard's is Black. Reginald is just a random surname.
4. Manny appears on the cover of which magazine?

Answer: 'Big and Beardy'

In the episode 'He's Leaving Home', Manny runs away because Bernard is being horrible to him. He is taken in by a man who is a photographer. He poses for the man in a variety of costumes, one of which is a Bo-Peep outfit, which ends up of the cover of a magazine called 'Big and Beardy'.

He then realises that the photographer has been looking after him in order to hire him out as a 'companion' to foreign businessmen.
5. What is the name of the illness that afflicts Manny when the temperature rises to 88 degrees?

Answer: Dave's Syndrome

Dave's Syndrome is a reaction to extreme heat that results in Manny stripping off all his clothes, lighting torches and acting like a tribesman. He is shown jumping up and down on the roof of a car and screaming like a maniac.
6. What is the name of the rival bookshop that opens next door, which Manny gets a job in?

Answer: Goliath Books

The manager of Goliath Books is played by simon Pegg from 'Spaced'. He is quite frightening as Manny's crazed new employer who puts out customers' cigarettes in the palm of his hand and insists that Manny cut off his long hair and beard if he wants to become 'part of the team'. Not surprisingly, Manny goes back to his old job at Black Books.
7. Which one of these names is Manny NOT called during the three series of 'Black Books'?

Answer: Face Fungus

In the episode 'The Blackout', Manny accidentally gets mistaken for a plain clothes policeman. One of the actual policeman at the station says 'What's with the face fungus?', but he isn't actually called it by anyone.
8. What colour shirt does Manny wear for his first day working at Black Books?

Answer: Pink

He wears a suit with a bright pink shirt. From then on he wears Hawaiian shirts and shorts most of the time.
9. What does Manny live on when he gets locked inside the shop?

Answer: Dead bees and Absinthe

Manny and Bernard get a security door fitted because the shop keeps getting robbed. However, Manny forgets the code to open the door because the man who comes to fit the door has a Subbuteo player stuck in his hair which distracted him. Manny gets trapped in the shop and Bernard is locked out. Manny eats dead bees from the window sill and drinks a whole bottle of Absinthe.
10. What is the name of the girl that Manny wants to meet up with in the final episode of series three?

Answer: Rowena

In this episode Manny convinces Fran and Bernard go to a party with him. Manny has a plan for getting the girl he likes to phone him afterwards by leaving various objects behind so she will have to contact him to return them. This plan does not work but Rowena later comes to the shop with the extremely tenuous reason of wanting to return a plastic cup that Manny was drinking out of.

They disappear upstairs, having first taken the precaution of putting fluffy earmuffs on Bernard so he can't complain about the noise. I hope you enjoyed the quiz. Thank you for playing.
