Continuity mistake: In the scene where Bernard is trying to convince Manny he is insane, cornflakes suddenly appear stuck to Manny's dressing between shots. This is due to a short gag which was cut. (00:13:20)
Black Books (2000)
1 continuity mistake in Hello Sun
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.
Bernard: I can feel pieces of my brain falling away like a wet cake.
Trivia: Fran's last name is Katzenjammer, which is German for "A momentarily severe hangover". It translates literally as "cat misery".
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.
