About This Program ✦
Farewell, Nervosa is an episode of the television programme. Classified simply as a programme episode, it follows the familiar structure that fans of the series will recognise. The title hints at a parting or conclusion, yet the content remains rooted in the everyday antics and interactions that define the show’s setting. In this instalment, a street singer’s performance quickly becomes a source of irritation for Frasier and Niles. The constant music outside their favourite spot drives the brothers to seek out a quieter venue. Determined to find a new coffee house where they're able to enjoy their drinks without the unwanted serenade, they set off on a brief quest through the neighbourhood. At the same time, Daphne finds herself under scrutiny as her physical‑therapy techniques are put to the test. Colleagues and supervisors evaluate the methods she employs with patients, offering feedback that highlights both her strengths and areas for improvement. This assessment provides a clear view of how her professional approach is perceived within the clinic. Adding a musical touch, the episode welcomes Elvis Costello as a guest. His cameo introduces a recognisable voice from the world of music, creating a brief but notable intersection between the show’s storyline and a well‑known artist. Costello’s appearance adds an extra layer of interest for viewers familiar with his work.
