According to the More4 site, “Monday” was the episode broadcast last night in the U.K.; it originally aired in January in the U.S. For those who want to read what was written about this episode when it was first broadcast, here are links to reviews, recaps and forum discussions on:

For those of us who saw “Monday” many months ago, here’s a refresher: It’s the one where Danny calls Jordan, continues to call her even after she blocks his number, has his friends fax her with recommendations, and when she asks him to please back off, replies “No.” It’s the one where Matt bids on Harriet, Tom asks out Lucy, Simon and Darius disagree about a Fruit of the Loom sketch, and Jordan wrangles with a new head of Illiterate Alternative Programming who’s read a stupid book about power. And it’s the one where Jack and Wilson wage war over the FCC ruling and make a deal with the father of viola-playing Kim that involves her going out with Tom on the very night of his just-made date.

Whew! Remember all of that? If not, there are some good clips on YouTube to help you out. You can enjoy:

• A promo for the episode
• Danny pursues Jordan
• Tom and Lucy being adorable
• Jack learning Chinese
• Jack saying, “You’re a moron”
• A Danny-Jordan music video
• and another Danny-Jordan music video.

Tom and Lucy make a cute couple, don’t they? And with all the silliness this episode with Matt bidding on Harriet and Danny stalking Jordan, it’s kind of refreshing to just see a guy walk up to a girl and say, “Hey! Want to go on a date with me?” Ah, the simple life of the hired help.
