When Bernard's bossiness gets too much for him, Manny runs away from the bookshop into the arms of a beard-loving photographer. Fran tries to bring them back together.
One of the names on the police missing poster for bearded men is Paul De Csernatory - he was involved in the making of another comedy show Red Dwarf.
Edit
When Manny comes out of the shower, the magazine he leafs through is the May 2000 edition of Empire film magazine with features on Scream 3, American Psycho, Kevin and Perry Go Large and first pictures from a certain Lord Of The Rings trilogy.

As Manny meets Trebor, keep your eyes on the background as the scene continues. It's clearly been edited together from multiple takes, as bystanders appear and disappear each time a vehicle passes in the front of the shot.

(after learning he is to accompany a Japanese businessman to a casino as an escort)Manny: (to the photographer who arranged it) There is no way I'm going to the casino, alright? Now look, you have given me everything that money can buy. Yes, I've slept on satin sheets, I've eaten crinkle-cut chips from a silver bowl, I've been driven all over town in minicabs. But there are some things that money can't buy. Like the love I found in a little bookshop off Russell Square. Yes, love. You know, not, well, not love so much more... more... freedom! You know, fre... well, not really freedom, more a largeness of heart. Well, not really a largeness of heart... or freedom... or love. But I was never contractually obliged to sleep with foreign businessmen, alright? And that is not nothing, that is something.
Edit
Bernard: (phone rings) Manny? Manny, phone. Manny! Oh, I'll get it, shall I?
(picks up phone) Hello?
Manny: (on other side phone) Bernard?
Bernard: Manny. Where are you? The phone's been ringing!
Edit
Fran: Manny was something else you know... You don't meet someone like him everyday.
Bernard: I met him everyday... I met him all day and all night everyday. Today is one of the few days I haven't met him and even then he still wrote to me and rang me. I'm expecting a fax any minute!
