The two reasons I love this one so much is Fran in the restaurant and all the dumb shit she says like "I am a giant ear" and "will you _just_ look at these breasts!", and also how seamlessly the part in the front yard with manny a lá the hunchback comes together as a result of all these unrelated incidents. Its a classic and quite old British comedy structure, but ill never get tired of some of the creative ways series writers have come up with pulling them off
