Corrected entry: Manny gets crazy when the temperature hits 88, but he never goes crazy even when wearing the heavy jacket and being near the oven, which coupled with the high temperature outside would have made him hit 88 and go crazy much earlier than when the outside temperature hits 88.
Black Books (2000)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Dylan Moran, Bill Bailey, Tamsin Greig
Genres: Comedy
Continuity mistake: When Fran arrives at the store, in the shot from outside you see a pile of unopened mail on the mat just outside the door. However as Fran opens the door and walks into the shop, the pile of mail has disappeared.
Chalkboard: Don't.
Trivia: The 'I Love Books' customer, seen at the beginning of 'Manny's First Day' is in fact, co- writer of the show Graham Linehan.
Question: Is there an episode where Bernard can't think of the word for a scanner or card reader or something and refers to it as a "beepitibeep"? Might have the wrong show entirely.
Chosen answer: You may be thinking of S3E1, "Manny Come Home", when Manny quits and gets a job at Goliath Books next door. The device they use to scan books, look up items, or even order muffins is referred to as the "Doo-Deedee-Doo," after the sound it makes when employees scan their cards in it.

Correction: That's a joke. It's exaggerated for humour and we are supposed to assume that Manny realises what Bernard has done, just in time. Remember that Black Books is a strange comedy not a medical drama.
