===Merry Christmas Mr. Bean=== ====Act One: Christmas Decoration Shopping==== Mr. Bean visits Harrods during a bustling Christmas shopping rush, bringing his unique brand of chaos to the prestigious department store. He parks conspicuously at the store's entrance and playfully tugs on a man dressed as Santa Claus's fake beard. Inside, Bean meticulously selects Christmas decorations, testing each with his own criteria—if it breaks, it's a no-go. He settles on one item. Next, he notices packs of Christmas lights and decides to test them, using the same socket that powers the store's exterior lights. This accidental maneuver plunges the store's exterior into darkness. Undeterred, Bean proceeds to the checkout but not before getting distracted by an in-store display. He creates his own improvised Nativity scene, incorporating a Royal Guard parade, sheep (and a mistakenly thrown-in and retrieved sheepdog), a truck, a Dalek, a T-rex, and even a helicopter with a magnetic attraction. Amidst the chaotic tableau, the characters repeatedly shush each other and cause further mischief, until the store manager intervenes by adding a figurine of a policeman to the scene. Bean, satisfied with his handiwork, collects his shopping bag and departs, leaving the bemused store manager to watch on. ====Act Two: In Town==== Bean meets his girlfriend in town, who spots a beautiful ring in a shop window (next to a portrait of a couple) and subtly hints that she wants it as a gift. Understanding her message, Bean agrees, and she happily watches him enter the shop after she leaves. Inside, Bean manages to win a free turkey by employing his unique methods, albeit with a touch of cheating. Spotting another man dressed as Father Christmas, Bean attempts his trademark beard tug, only to discover that this Santa's beard is real. He quickly exits the situation while the startled man recovers. Next, Bean volunteers to collect donations for a Salvation Brass Band performing in the shopping center. During his volunteer stint, he catches a young boy in the act of pickpocketing. Instead of returning the stolen items, Bean compels the boy to donate them to the band. He then gives the thief's items to the band conductor, who tries them on while Bean, in his own comedic style, conducts the band. Afterward, Mr. Bean sets off to buy a Christmas tree, only to find that all the remaining ones have been sold. Unfazed, he decides to take matters into his own hands and steals the town's very large Christmas tree instead. ====Act Three: Decorating==== Back at home, Bean prepares for Christmas Eve by attempting to set up the stolen top of the Christmas tree. However, his efforts go awry when he accidentally drops it, causing it to crash down into the street below, alarming his neighbors. Undeterred, Bean then seals an envelope and takes several identical Christmas cards outside, only to drop them back through his letterbox in a mock-surprise fashion. He hangs the cards on a string above the tree, creating a makeshift decoration. Next, he decides to create a "super cracker," combining multiple fuses from different Christmas crackers. He lights the fireplace and hangs stockings for Father Christmas: one for himself, one for Teddy, and even a tiny one for a mouse, which he mistakenly addresses with a meow instead of a traditional Christmas greeting. Bean tries to find something enjoyable to watch on TV, only to discover that war films dominate every channel. Undeterred by the lack of holiday cheer on television, he is interrupted by a group of carol singers at the door. Bean sits down with wine and chocolates, listening to their songs, but abruptly shuts the door rudely without giving them anything, despite bringing his box of chocolates to the door. Finally exhausted, Bean removes his robe and heads to bed, bringing Act Three of his Christmas preparations to a close. ====Act Four: Christmas Morning==== The following morning, Bean wakes up eagerly and discovers what Santa Claus has left for him. In his stocking, Bean finds his other sock, while Teddy receives a tin of two drawing pins to replace his eyes, giving him a new look. Bean tests Teddy's new eyes by holding up three fingers in front of him. The mouse receives a piece of cheese in its stocking, which Bean promptly places on a mousetrap. Later that morning, Bean starts preparing the turkey for Christmas dinner. However, he loses his watch while stuffing the turkey and accidentally gets his head stuck inside. Just as Irma arrives, Bean tries to free himself using a crosscut saw, inadvertently frightening her in the process. Irma eventually helps Bean get his head unstuck from the turkey. Later in the afternoon, they sit down for their Christmas dinner, which consists of sandwiches and slices of carrot. Irma remembers the mistletoe she hung on Bean's paper lamp earlier and tries to give him his present, hiding it behind her back, intending for him to find it if he kisses her. Bean mimics her actions and attempts to kiss her, but when he hesitates, he tells her to look away while he grabs the present. Ignoring Irma's frustration, Bean excitedly opens the present, revealing a model classic ship inside. He marvels at the intricate details and parts of the plastic model. Realizing he forgot to give Irma her present, Bean hands it to her, but she is puzzled by its large and flat shape. To Bean's confusion, it turns out to be the portrait used in the shop's window display for the ring, which he mistakenly believed she had pointed out as her desired gift. Irma becomes upset and begins to cry. Bean, realizing his mistake, mutters to himself, "I forgot the main part," and retrieves a ring box from his pocket. He hands it to Irma, who eagerly opens it, only to find another disappointment—it's not an engagement ring, but a hook meant for hanging the portrait. Irma leaves the flat angrily, slamming the door behind her. Bewildered and hurt by the misunderstanding, Bean mutters, "What was wrong with it?" As the episode concludes, an outside view of Bean's window shows him pulling the "super cracker" he made earlier, wishing himself a Merry Christmas. The cracker produces a bright flash seen through the curtains, with the town's Christmas tree below. '''Extended Scene:''' An extended scene, not originally aired in some broadcasts but included in others, depicts Bean attempting to win the turkey he later wears on his head. In a contest to guess the turkey's weight, Bean sneaks a pair of scales to the counter and, having already weighed himself, calculates the turkey's weight to three decimal places using a Casio calculator. The contest organizer is shocked when Bean guesses the exact weight and wins the turkey. He then roughly throws the turkey into his car boot and slams it shut.
