Series 1, Episode 6 - He's Leaving Home
Manny runs away from Black Books, much to Fran's dismay and Bernard's indifference.
Further details
Manny tires of Bernard's ill-treatment and runs away from home. Bernard initially takes the news nonchalantly but is left to console and bicker with a devastated Fran in his prolonged absence.
Manny, on the other hand, lands on his feet as he is 'discovered' by a photographer with an unexplained beard fetish. But just what lengths must he go to, to keep himself in furs and leopard skin?
