Mr. Bean, portrayed by Rowan Atkinson, is the main character of the British comedy television program Mr. Bean. He is a slow-witted yet occasionally ingenious, selfish, and generally likeable buffoon who devises various unusual schemes and contrivances for everyday tasks.

Appearance

Mr. Bean is typically seen wearing a brown tweed jacket, a white shirt, a thin red tie, brown trousers, and black shoes. Occasionally, he changes his outfit to suit the scene he is in. He is sometimes seen holding a brown suitcase and usually wears a digital calculator watch.

• The Return of Mr. Bean: When heading to a fancy restaurant to celebrate his birthday, Bean wears a grey suit with a dark red tie. Later, when he goes to meet the queen, he wears a tuxedo.
• The Curse of Mr. Bean: When heading to the park to make a sandwich for his lunch, he wears a long dark green overcoat with a light green shirt and a dark green tie. Later, when he visits a cinema, he is wearing his trademark clothes, but instead of his brown tweed jacket, he wears a light brown sweater.

Personality

Mr. Bean is often portrayed as a childish buffoon, usually obnoxious, crazy, selfish, and sometimes seemingly stupid. While he can occasionally be a gentleman towards women, he doesn't show much care for his girlfriend, which is evident in many episodes (both live-action and animated). Mr. Bean often pretends his teddy is real but doesn't always treat Teddy nicely. He is also a recurring nuisance to the Reliant Regal, creating a running gag in the series. Although Mr. Bean has shown kindness on rare occasions, he typically hides it. He also dislikes being kissed by Irma, and whenever she does kiss him, he usually wipes the smudge off his cheek.

Biography

Background

Mr. Bean lives alone in a small flat in Highbury, North London. He is almost always seen in his trademark tweed jacket and skinny red tie. Mr. Bean rarely speaks, and when he does, it's usually just a few mumbled words in a comically low-pitched voice. In the first episode, it is shown that he has a strong knowledge of trigonometry.

Mr. Bean's ingenuity often leads him to find ridiculous and impractical solutions to problems, such as painting a room by putting fireworks into a paint can. He often gets confused by the world around him and doesn't understand what's going on. He can be quite selfish, becoming agitated if someone is doing something he doesn't like, and he doesn't like people taking his things.

Mr. Bean frequently seems unaware of basic aspects of how the world works, and the program usually features his attempts at what would normally be considered simple tasks, such as going swimming, redecorating, or attending church. The humor largely comes from his original and often absurd solutions to problems, his total disregard for others when solving them, his pettiness, and occasional malevolence. He also acts silly at times.

Mr. Bean (Episode)

Act One: The Exam

In Act One, Mr. Bean is running late for an important mathematics exam. He speeds past a Reliant Regal, nearly overturning it in the process. Once he reaches the college campus, he sits down looking awkward. A student sitting next to him asks if he did his revision, and Mr. Bean replies that he concentrated on trigonometry. The student says he studied calculus, to which Bean responds that he believed they concentrated on calculus the previous year, worrying the student. Mr. Bean then irritates the fellow candidate by getting out some spare pens along with a number of toys, including a Pink Panther doll and an alarm clock, which he sets for the end of the exam.

The exam begins, and Mr. Bean takes a green paper out of the envelope and freaks out as he did not study calculus. He becomes frustrated as he has no idea how to complete it, so he spends most of the exam time attempting to cheat from the other student's work, even stealing the student's paper when he becomes distracted. Each attempt fails. Eventually, Bean gives up and cries out "Oh, Mummy!" before putting his head on the desk and sleeping for the remainder of the exam.

Two minutes before the end, the invigilator announces instructions on what to do with the papers once the exam is over. Bean realizes that there were two papers in the envelope – a green calculus paper and a white trigonometry paper, with each student given a choice as to which to do. Bean takes out the trigonometry paper and tries to complete it in a rush, but his pen runs out of ink, so he throws it away and steals the pen from the other student, forgetting about the many spares he came prepared with. Unfortunately, the exam is already over, and the invigilator tells him to stop writing twice. Bean continues writing until the invigilator furiously yells, "WILL YOU STOP WRITING!" At this point, the alarm clock rings, and the first act ends as Bean frantically tries to turn it off.

Act Two: The Beach

Mr. Bean goes to the beach and tries to change from his street trousers and underpants into his swimming trunks without ever becoming naked so a nearby man will never see him. After he succeeds, the man gets out of his patio seat and walks with a white cane, revealing that he was actually blind all along, leaving Bean frustrated.

Act Three: Church

After a parking altercation, once again involving the Reliant, Mr. Bean attends a church service. Unfortunately, he doesn't know the words to the hymns, sneezes loudly, and falls asleep out of boredom, much to the annoyance of Mr. Sprout who is sitting next to him. Then he tries to put a sweetie in his mouth without being seen and puts it into a pocket which he has wiped his nose on.

Act Four: Driving Home

On the way back home, Mr. Bean takes a wrong turn and the sound of the Mini crashing is heard, but he and one of the tires survived (a tire is seen flying into view). All the while, the Reliant sits there and then drives off, not helping him, as a way to get back at him.

The Return of Mr. Bean

Act One: The Busker

Mr. Bean sees a busker playing a saxophone and wants to drop some change in his case, believing that giving him money will grant him access to the tunnel. When Bean realizes he has no change (and avoids using his paper bill), he places his handkerchief on the ground and starts dancing foolishly to the saxophone music. An elderly woman stops by and leaves Bean a coin, which he then drops into the saxophonist's case before continuing into the tunnel.

Act Two: Shopping

Mr. Bean tries out his new American Express charge card at Allders department store. After nearly suffocating in the perfume department, he begins his shopping by testing everything he wants to buy. Bean opens and uses a toothbrush (then returns it, pretending he didn't use it), tries on a selected bath towel, peels a potato with a peeler he intends to buy, and pulls a large fish out of his pocket to see if it fits on a frying pan he chose. He also takes the telephone from the receptionist's desk, assuming it’s the only working phone since it gave a dialing tone; he believes the other phones (disconnected display models) are broken.

At the register, Bean places his card on the counter. Another man's identical card gets covered under the grocery bag, leading him to take Bean's card by mistake. Instead of speaking up, Bean quietly pickpockets the man to retrieve his card, but his hand gets stuck in the man's wallet. The man unwittingly pulls Bean all the way into a toilet stall. Inside the stall, Bean uncomfortably watches as the man sits on the toilet. He eventually frees his hand, offers the man a roll of toilet paper, and shocks him as a form of comeuppance for dragging him into the restroom.

Act Three: The Restaurant

Mr. Bean goes to a restaurant to celebrate his birthday. He surprises himself by gifting and then opening a birthday card, which he proudly shows off, endeared by his own message. He orders steak tartare, expecting a regular steak. A waiter offers him the house wine, which Mr. Bean swiftly drinks while smiling at the waiter. When the waiter offers more, Bean declines, mentioning he might end up drunk driving. He then shows off the napkin brought by the waiter, but loses it when it flies to a neighboring table, pretending it's not his.

When the steak tartare arrives, Bean is disgusted by its taste and appearance, assuming it’s undercooked. He cuts it up and hides pieces in various places: an ashtray, a tiny vase, a hollowed-out roll, under a plate, a sugar basin, and even the violinist's trousers and a woman's handbag. The violinist insists he takes a bite, but Bean spits it into the violinist's trousers when he turns away. Conveniently, a waiter trips over Mr. Bean's leg while he is hiding the tartare in the handbag, spilling his tray onto Bean's table. This gives Bean an opportunity to show the waiter and the maitre d' the mess, revealing the hidden tartare.

The maitre d' apologizes and moves Mr. Bean to another table, offering a free dish. Unfortunately for Mr. Bean, it’s another, seemingly larger, steak tartare. Appalled but watched closely by the maitre d', the waiter, and the violinist, Bean is forced to eat it.

Act Four: The Queen

Mr. Bean eagerly awaits to meet Queen Elizabeth II at a royal premiere at the Odeon Leicester Square cinema, but finds himself quite unprepared. His nails and teeth are dirty, his breath smells, and his shoes are unpolished. Determined to rectify these issues, he improvises solutions: he uses spit to polish his shoes, folds back the corners of a postcard as a makeshift handkerchief, and employs a loose thread from a waitress's uniform to floss his teeth.

However, his attempt to clean his fingernail with his trouser's zip goes awry when the zip gets stuck. After struggling, he manages to force it back up just moments before the Queen greets him. As he prepares to bow, Mr. Bean accidentally headbutts the Queen, knocking her to the floor. Amidst the ensuing confusion, the episode ends with Mr. Bean making a hasty exit, running away from the scene.

The Curse of Mr. Bean

Act One: The Swimming Pool

Mr. Bean visits a public swimming pool, where he struggles with the manual ticket machine at the car park. Once inside and changed into his swimming attire, he spots children's slides and excitedly attempts to use one, only to be reprimanded by a lifeguard. Undeterred, Bean ventures to the highest diving board but hesitates when he sees the height. Trying to conceal his fear, he falters until two impatient boys push him off, causing him to lose his swimming trunks.

In embarrassment, Mr. Bean tries unsuccessfully to retrieve his trunks, which are snagged by a toddler using a snorkel. Left naked, he hastily tries to sneak back to the changing room unnoticed, but is caught by a female lifeguard turning around at the wrong moment. Desperate, he dashes towards a nearby female changing room, only to inadvertently startle seven women emerging from an adjacent archway. They scream and retreat into their changing room as Mr. Bean hurriedly flees the scene.

Act Two: The Parking Lot

After leaving the swimming pool, Mr. Bean attempts to exit the car park but discovers he needs to pay £16 to raise the barrier. Frustrated, he tries to leave through the entrance instead, but encounters obstacles such as other cars and prematurely descending barriers. Growing increasingly exasperated, Mr. Bean's luck changes when he spots the Reliant in the distance. With determination, he revs his car engine and successfully maneuvers around the Reliant, finally managing to exit the car park.

Act Three: Lunch on the Park Bench

Mr. Bean heads to the park for lunch and encounters a man also enjoying his meal on a bench. Spotting the man's sandwich, Bean decides to make his own using an assortment of unconventional tools and ingredients hidden in his coat. He cuts bread with scissors, spreads butter using his credit card, washes lettuce under a drinking fountain, and prepares sardines from a jar. To add pepper to his sandwich, he crushes peppercorns in a handkerchief with his shoe.

After assembling his lunch, Bean notices the man drinking tea and attempts to make his own using a hot water bottle. He adds a teabag and ingeniously improvises with milk from a baby bottle. However, as Bean prepares to enjoy his meal, he ties his peppered handkerchief around his neck, triggering a sneeze that causes him to drop his sandwich and spill tea all over himself, ruining his lunch.

Kindheartedly, the man offers Bean half of his pre-packed sandwich as a replacement, which Bean gratefully accepts, even as the cap from the hot water bottle pops out of his ear.

Act Three (Continued): The Street Corner

Observing a cyclist dismount and walk his bike across a red light, Mr. Bean decides to emulate the behavior with his car.

Act Four: The Movie

Mr. Bean attends a screening of A Nightmare on Elm Street with his girlfriend Irma, bringing a large container of popcorn into the theater. When Irma assumes it's for sharing, Bean gives her a small portion instead. He becomes possessive of his popcorn, even snorting some back into the container after it comes out of his nose. Throughout the movie, Bean tries to scare Irma and the man sitting next to him in his peculiar ways.

Impatient during the movie, Bean exclaims loudly, "Come on!" and starts making owl noises when the lights dim. As the scary scenes unfold, Bean becomes increasingly terrified and tries to avoid watching by covering his eyes. At one point, he pulls his jumper over his head, causing Irma to scream, thinking his head has been severed. To cope with the fright, Bean improvises earplugs using popcorn from the container and even puts the empty container on his head.

After the movie ends and people begin to leave, Irma puts on her jacket, but Bean mistakes her sleeve for her arm and freaks out, believing she has lost it. This hilarious mishap concludes the episode.

Mr. Bean Goes to Town

Act One: The Antenna

Mr. Bean purchases a portable television for his flat but struggles to position the antenna for good reception. Frustrated that he can only get a signal from a spot where he can't see the screen, Bean ingeniously improvises by assembling a setup using his clothes and a cardboard box. Miraculously, just before his prepaid electricity meter runs out, the television starts working.

Act Two: The Camera

In the park, Mr. Bean experiments with his new Polaroid camera but struggles to capture clear photos. He asks a passerby to take his picture, but the man tricks him and runs off with the camera. Determined, Bean pursues the thief and eventually traps him in a rubbish bin, poking at him with a pencil. However, the thief escapes just as Bean alerts a passing police officer (Matilda Ziegler) to the theft.

At the police station, Bean struggles to identify the thief in a standard lineup. Frustrated, he requests a unique approach: the suspects wear rubbish bins over their heads and endure a pencil poking test. Using his methodical poking, Bean identifies the culprit by the distinctive scream of pain, successfully solving the case.

Act Three: The Stone

While walking through town, Mr. Bean gets a stone stuck in his foot. He stops to remove his shoe and sock to extract it. Placing his shoe on the roof of a parked Mazda, he attends to his foot. However, the car drives off unexpectedly, leaving Bean hopping through town in pursuit. After a comedic chase, he eventually retrieves his shoe.

Act Four: The Photo Booth

Mr. Bean visits a photo booth and takes pictures of himself. Impatient with the process, he slaps the machine, which promptly releases his photos. To his surprise, he discovers that he inadvertently took pictures of his own back, checking his haircut in the process.

Act Five: Going Out

Mr. Bean accompanies his girlfriend to a magic show one evening. Arriving late, he accidentally messes with the club's neon sign while trying to fix it. Inside, misunderstanding a gesture as volunteering, he disrupts the magician's act in a clumsy attempt to retrieve his "stolen" watch. When he finally finds his watch and shows it to his girlfriend, he realizes she has left in embarrassment.

Disheartened, Bean moves to the disco room next door, pursued by the magician with a sword. He tries to impress his girlfriend with dance moves but fails. After unsuccessfully attempting to intervene with another man dancing with her, he asks the DJ to play a slow song. However, he discovers his girlfriend dancing with someone else. Disappointed, Bean leaves the disco, amusingly turning off the power as he exits.

On his way home, Mr. Bean passes a window display of television sets, inadvertently causing each one to lose its picture as he walks by. Amused by this, he continues on his way, inadvertently affecting a football match on one of the screens.

The Trouble with Mr. Bean

Act One: Late For The Dentist Appointment

Mr. Bean oversleeps and begins his morning routine, only realizing he's late for his dental appointment when he searches for his suit in the closet. Determined to save time, Bean opts to leave in his pajamas and get dressed while on the move, careful not to wake his teddy bear, Teddy. He improvises by using a brick to hold down the car's accelerator while changing, inadvertently honking the horn multiple times as he circles a roundabout.

In his haste, Bean brushes his teeth in the car, placing toothpaste on the dashboard and using screenwash to rinse his mouth, comically spitting it out. Unintentionally, it lands on a man's buttocks, who mistakes it for bird droppings initially, then realizes it smells minty.

Arriving at the parking lot, Bean checks his remaining parking time, only to notice a parking attendant glancing downward. Embarrassed, he realizes his pajama trousers are visible through his fly. Quickly rectifying the situation, he tucks them out of sight through the car window, adjusts his fly, and hurries into the dentist's office.

Act Two: The Appointment

Mr. Bean arrives at the dentist's office, where he finds nothing to read in the waiting room except a Batman comic already being read by a schoolboy. When the boy refuses to share, Bean ingeniously tricks the boy's mother into taking him to school by covertly pouring water from a nearby vase into the boy's lap. With the comic in hand, Bean is promptly called in to see the dentist, Mr. Peggit (played by Aimee Turnbull and Richard Wilson).

While in the dentist's chair, Mr. Bean mischievously plays with the radio, tuning it to play The Blue Danube Waltz. He also fiddles with the dentist's chair controls and explores the dental equipment when the dentist's back is turned, accidentally numbing Dr. Peggit's leg with a Novocaine injection that causes him to faint. Feeling inconvenienced by the situation, Bean decides to take matters into his own hands and attempts to perform dental procedures on all his teeth, unsure which one actually needs attention.

In the process, Bean accidentally glues his mouth shut with dental composite, then tries to break it open with a mirror, which shatters. Startled by the dentist's sudden movement behind him, Bean cries out, causing his jaw to come unstuck. Satisfied with his work, Bean leaves the dentist's office, handing his bib back to Dr. Peggit, who snatches it from him in frustration.

Act Three: Parking

Upon arriving at a park, Mr. Bean attempts to park in a narrow spot but realizes he can't open his door. He reverses slightly, nearly hitting a pedestrian passing by. Determined, Bean retrieves his suitcase and decides to push his car into the spot manually. Just as he succeeds, the car next to him suddenly pulls out and drives away.

Act Four: The Remote Control

While relaxing in the park near a pond, Mr. Bean notices a young boy struggling with his remote-controlled boat. Being Mr. Bean, he offers to help and convinces the boy to lend him the remote control. Bean opens up the controller and tinkers with its circuitry, miraculously fixing it. Unbeknownst to both Bean and the boy, the controller now also operates an elderly man's electric wheelchair behind them.

Enjoying his newfound control, Bean continues to play with the boat, inadvertently causing chaos as the wheelchair follows his commands. Eventually, Bean reluctantly returns the controller to the boy, just as the wheelchair, still under remote control, approaches from behind the boy. As Bean walks away, a loud splash is heard, suggesting the wheelchair may have inadvertently caused the boy to fall into the water.

Act Five: The Picnic

Still enjoying his time in the park, Mr. Bean sets up for a picnic, but his peaceful moment is interrupted by a persistent wasp determined to get at his cupcake. Bean tries various methods to catch the wasp, swatting at it, jousting with it using a stick, and even chasing it around. Eventually, he traps it in a bottle of juice, only for it to retaliate by buzzing into his ear. Frustrated, Bean crushes the wasp between the pages of his book, unknowingly attracting a swarm of angry wasps.

As the swarm descends upon him, Bean frantically races away from his picnic site, abandoning his lunch. Desperate to escape the buzzing insects, he spots a car thief nearby and hurls the cupcake at him. The thief, already dealing with his own predicament after Bean foiled his attempted theft by removing his steering wheel, starts swatting at the wasps around him.

Meanwhile, the electric wheelchair, still under the control of the remote Bean adjusted earlier, stops beside the thief's car. The chaotic scene concludes as Bean's eventful day in the park comes to an end.

Mr. Bean Rides Again

Act One: The Heart Attack

Mr. Bean sets out to go to the post office but encounters a problem: his car's battery is dead, so he opts to take the bus instead. At the bus stop, he finds another man already waiting. Suddenly, the man suffers a heart attack, alarming Bean. Bean attempts to revive him in his own peculiar ways: he stomps on his chest, tries to force pills down his throat, and improvises mouth-to-mouth resuscitation by blowing air into his mouth using his hands and then a magazine.

Desperate to help further, Bean even resorts to electric shock treatment, using jump leads connected to a nearby lamppost. Initially successful, Bean inadvertently shocks the man again when he shakes his hand without removing the jump leads, causing the man to pass out once more.

An ambulance arrives, and paramedics take over the situation while attending to the man. Meanwhile, Bean seizes the opportunity to jump-start his Mini using the ambulance's battery. As Bean drives off, leaving the ambulance with a dead battery, the paramedics are left to arrange for a replacement vehicle to continue their emergency response.

Act Two: The Stamp

Bean heads towards a postbox, intending to mail a letter. Along the way, he accidentally swallows his own stamp. At the postbox, he encounters a lady who asks him to post her letter for her. Bean agrees but secretly holds onto her letter until she leaves, hoping to salvage the stamp for his own use. Using ingenuity, he manages to extract the stamp from her letter by using steam from his car's radiator. However, his attempt to affix the stamp to his own letter using a sticky sweet from his pocket fails, and the lady's letter flies off into the distance.

Just as Bean completes his maneuver, the postman arrives to collect mail from the box. The lady returns to find her letter on the ground without a stamp and complains to the postman, who dismisses her concern. Bean, fearing repercussions, hides inside the postbox to avoid confrontation. Inside, he tries unsuccessfully to attract attention, even resorting to waving his tie out of the slot, only to have it grabbed by a passing dog, nearly choking him.

Eventually, Bean is freed when another postman opens the postbox. In his rush to leave, Bean accidentally drops his keys down a drain. He heads to catch a bus home but is denied entry by the conductor due to full seating. Bean reluctantly waits for the next bus.

Act Three: Packing

Bean attempts to prepare for a holiday but struggles with his small suitcase, which doesn't accommodate both his clothes and tins of baked beans. Determined, he resorts to absurd methods to shrink his belongings to fit into the tiny case. He cuts unnecessary items like a pair of trousers (forgetting he already packed shorts), breaks his toothbrush, wastes toothpaste down the sink, takes only one sandal, opts for small swim briefs over board shorts, and chooses just one Hawaiian shirt. Reluctant to cut up Teddy, he uses a flannel as a towel.

After finally cramming everything into the small case, Bean discovers another, much larger briefcase under the bed. Realizing it's too late to repack, he ingeniously places the small case inside the larger one, along with the one item he couldn't fit before — a book.

Act Four: The Train Ride

On a train journey, Mr. Bean sits across from a man who bursts into loud, continuous laughter while reading a funny book. Annoyed by the noise, Bean attempts to block out the laughter by covering his ears. However, he struggles to do so while reading his own book, attempting to turn pages with his elbows, chin, and tongue. Frustrated, he resorts to using his tie and jacket as makeshift earplugs and reads with a torchlight.

When the man's laughter subsides, Bean removes his improvised earplugs, only for the man to burst into laughter again. This time, Bean uses his socks as earplugs, drawing curious stares from fellow passengers when the man looks up. Disgruntled by the man's renewed laughter, Bean tosses the socks aside. Desperate, he finds chewed gum under his seat and uses it as earplugs, effectively blocking out the world around him.

As the conductor enters to check tickets, Bean remains oblivious due to his effective "earplugs." When the conductor startles him, Bean accidentally throws his book out of the carriage window with his ticket still inside. Despite the mishap, the man continues to laugh uproariously, much to Bean's dismay.

Act Five: The Flight

On an airplane, Mr. Bean engages with four different music channels, mimicking the actions corresponding to each genre. During his enactment of the fourth channel, he accidentally slaps a flight attendant, prompting her to ask him to assist a sick boy seated beside him. Trying to cheer up the boy, Bean attempts various antics — manualism, pretending Teddy is stuck, feigning vomiting, sticking magazine bits on his face, and even blowing a whistle on a lifejacket.

In an unfortunate mishap, Bean inadvertently inflates the lifejacket when offering the whistle to the boy. As he struggles to deflate it, the lifejacket escapes from his grasp and flies across the cabin. He manages to retrieve it from a flight attendant while reading the in-flight magazine upside down.

Suddenly, the plane encounters turbulence, causing panic among passengers. After the turbulence subsides, Bean pretends to vomit again and attempts to blow air into a paper bag, only to find it too small and hole-ridden. While searching for another bag, unaware of the boy's discomfort, turbulence hits again, causing the boy to vomit into an airsickness bag. The boy offers the bag to Bean, who inflates it and inadvertently pops it, causing a sudden blackout, ending the episode.

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.

Mr. Bean in Room 426

Mr. Bean arrives at the hotel and retrieves his suitcase. When a porter approaches to assist him, Mr. Bean mistakenly wrestles the suitcase away, suspecting the porter of being a thief, muttering "thieves are everywhere..."

Inside, Mr. Bean repeatedly rings the bell until the front desk clerk appears. He provides his name, and the clerk returns with a card for him to fill out, offering a pen which Mr. Bean graciously accepts and pockets. The porter returns, offering to move Mr. Bean's car. Irritated, Mr. Bean places his suitcase on the counter and hands the porter his steering wheel, leaving the porter baffled.

Another guest arrives, prompting Mr. Bean to ring the bell again. The clerk gives the guest a card, and Mr. Bean mimics him, as though copying answers on a test he doesn't understand. He rings the bell once more, eagerly waving his card, hands it to the clerk, and hurries off to grab his keys, mimicking someone finishing an exam first. The other guest also takes his keys and walks away.

Realizing he forgot his suitcase, Mr. Bean rushes back to retrieve it.

He rushes towards the elevator, only to see the doors close right in front of him. Frantically, he dashes to each floor, pressing the elevator button and darting away each time, narrowly missing exiting on the wrong floor repeatedly. After several attempts, he manages to squeeze onto the elevator as it arrives, but Mr. Bean just dances around inside before running off again. On yet another floor, he's seen racing ahead of the elevator.

Finally reaching their floor, they find themselves in neighboring rooms. Mr. Bean, grinning mischievously with the key in hand, waits for the other man to arrive, who upon seeing Mr. Bean, shakes his head in exasperation. Mr. Bean eagerly tries to open his door first, but the key gets stuck, allowing the man to enter first. An annoyed Mr. Bean eventually succeeds in opening his door and rushes in without his suitcase. He quickly shuts the door behind him, only for his arm to sneak out and pull the suitcase inside before closing it again.

Once inside, he plays with the light switch by the door and discovers his window offers only a view of a wall. Using his suitcase as a step, he finally manages to see outside. Picking up the phone, he hears the room service lady greet him, so he replies and hangs up without ordering. He then jumps on the bed, sitting, lying down, and standing, stopping only when it creaks loudly. Hearing a knock at the door, he shushes the bed and the porter appears, returning his steering wheel. Clearing his throat for a tip, Mr. Bean hands him a cough drop, misunderstanding the gesture, and the porter leaves.

Next, Mr. Bean picks up the TV remote, mistaking it for a phone and greeting it. Getting no response, he presses a button, startling himself with a loud football match on the screen. He fiddles with the remote, changing channels in odd places like just his arm, facing the wall, under his duvet, and even from the hallway after the door slams. When the neighbor investigates the noise, Mr. Bean hides the remote behind his back and scolds at his own door, "Will you be quiet!" Once the neighbor retreats, Mr. Bean unlocks his door and slips back inside. He proceeds to unpack, taking out Teddy who is blindfolded, which Mr. Bean removes to surprise him. Placing Teddy gently in a drawer with a sweet lullaby playing, the music abruptly stops as Mr. Bean closes the drawer, accidentally decapitating Teddy. He places Teddy's head next to him in the drawer and continues unpacking. Next, he retrieves drapes from his suitcase, replaces the lampshade, puts a framed photo on the nightstand, selects a painting for above the bed, and then retrieves a large drill, its noise echoing throughout the lobby. The walls are soon adorned with paintings in frames.

Following this, he grabs his bath towel, shower brush, and squeaky ducky, and looks around for the bathroom. Consulting the hotel's brochure, he taps a photo of a beautiful pink bathroom, realizing his room lacks one. Hearing his neighbor (the man from before) enjoying a wash next door, Mr. Bean scoffs. He waits for the neighbor to leave, then begins making loud mechanical sawing and drilling noises, rattling the entire hotel.

As the neighbor realizes he forgot his watch and returns upstairs, and the concierge heads up in the lift to investigate the disturbance, Mr. Bean stops the noises just as the concierge reaches his door. Knocking, the concierge is interrupted by the neighbor, who can't open his bathroom door. They try to fix the jam, unaware Mr. Bean is quickly taking a bath, scrubbing his feet. There's a big hole above the tub leading into his room, which he hides by pulling a curtain and a cupboard over it.

Outside the room, the concierge apologizes to the neighbor for the disturbance. Mr. Bean peeks disdainfully from his room in a towel with another on his head, ducky and brush in hand. The concierge greets him, looking confused, and walks away.

Mr. Bean knocks on the door of room 425 and quickly dashes away, only to find the lift out of order. Annoyed, he heads for the stairs but gets stuck behind a slow-moving elderly lady. The staircase is vast, spanning many floors, and despite his frustration, he keeps goofing off along the way. He decides to switch to the other staircase, only to find himself once again behind the same elderly lady. Taking a risky move, he uses the rings on the bannister to maneuver past her, finally succeeding, only to find himself stuck behind another slow-moving elderly man, presumably her husband.

Inside the restaurant, Mr. Bean grabs a saucer and cutlery, noticing his neighbor three people ahead. He tosses the lady's knife on the ground, causing her to bend down to pick it up, and then the man's napkin, which he also retrieves. Now behind his neighbor, Mr. Bean peeks over his shoulder and mimics his choices, but in larger quantities, putting back whatever the man discards. He mimics all of the man's actions in an exaggerated Mr. Bean style. When they reach the oysters, Mr. Bean quickly devours all of his, but the man detects a strange odor and questions the restaurant manager about their quality. The manager apologizes and investigates, sniffing the oyster plate with evident disgust. Mr. Bean watches in horror, fearing he may have already eaten the bad oysters.

Later, at midnight, Mr. Bean has a nightmare involving his neighbor and the waiter laughing maliciously at him, forcing him to eat the rotten oysters. He wakes up feeling hot and removes his pajamas, planning to go back to sleep. However, he hears music playing from room 427. Mr. Bean glances at the alarm clock, realizing it's 12:05 am. In a panic, he gets up, forgetting he's naked, and angrily knocks on the door, loudly shushing to stop the music. The music ceases, and he hurries back to his room as the door locks behind him. When he reaches for his key, he realizes it's missing. Even worse, he's still naked, causing him to panic about the prospect of being arrested for public nudity. He hides in the doorway until a couple passes by from a night out. Once they're gone, he stealthily escapes, using a fire extinguisher and various door signs (private, exit, etc.) to cover his privates and avoid encountering people. Attempting to take the stairs, he once again finds himself stuck behind the elderly lady. Frustrated, he heads back upstairs and encounters another couple making out. He sneaks past them to reach the lift, but as he enters, the door shuts on the string from the exit sign he's pulled in with him. The lift descends, and screams are heard, likely from someone seeing Mr. Bean naked inside.

Back in the lobby, Mr. Bean exits the lift and sneaks into the clerk's workspace while the clerk is occupied speaking to Danny La Rue, who is performing at the hotel. As La Rue heads to give the audience an encore, the clerk instructs Matthew, the porter, to take the trunk to Mr. La Rue's car. Meanwhile, Mr. Bean manages to obtain the keys to his room from the front desk and hides behind a pole.

The clerk returns to his counter, almost noticing the suitcase moving several times (due to Mr. Bean changing inside it). Matthew returns, locks the suitcase, and brings it out to the car, accidentally dropping it on the stairs. Just then, Mr. Bean appears at the counter dressed in a sparkly gown, wig, and lipstick, requesting "426, please." The clerk, assuming Mr. Bean is a woman, obliges, saying "Certainly, madam."

At that moment, Danny La Rue walks by, noticing his outfit being worn. Angered, he approaches Mr. Bean, who adjusts his chest, and exclaims, "Hey, that's my frock!" He yanks an earring off Mr. Bean's ear, causing him to shriek in pain, abruptly ending the episode.

Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean

Act One: Mr. Bean's party

It's New Year's Eve 1993, and Mr. Bean is filled with excitement. He's invited his two best friends, Rupert and Hubert, to his flat for a party. He puts the finishing touches on his minimal decorations—a circle of chairs in the living room and balloons hung on the front door. Greeting his neighbor, also hosting a party, he quickly returns inside to prepare for his guests' arrival.

Rupert and Hubert soon arrive, but it's not quite the party they anticipated. Bean presents them with party hats made from newspaper and assigns them designated chairs. The sole form of entertainment is a radio. Realizing he forgot refreshments, Bean heads to the kitchen and retrieves a tin of Twiglets and a bottle of champagne. However, there's only one Twiglet left and just enough champagne to half-fill a cup. Undeterred, Bean improvises by chopping a tree branch with a butcher knife outside, dipping it in a tin of Marmite to mask the taste, and sweetening vinegar with sugar.

As the evening progresses, Rupert and Hubert become increasingly dissatisfied. They discover the Twiglets are not genuine (Rupert finds a small leaf on his) and are put off by the vinegar's smell. Despite Bean eating and pretending to enjoy his improvised snacks, Rupert and Hubert refuse to partake. Bean returns to the kitchen and brings out more "snacks," this time pouring the contents of a bird feeder onto a plate.

Frustrated, Rupert and Hubert turn the living room clock to just before midnight while Bean is occupied. As the clock strikes midnight prematurely, they cheer "Happy New Year!" surprising Bean, who remarks, "Doesn't time fly when you're having fun." They link hands (almost forgetting Teddy) and sing "Auld Lang Syne," with Bean rushing excitedly through the song.

Rupert and Hubert then pretend to yawn and claim exhaustion, prompting Bean to reattach the doorknob to the door (which he had inexplicably placed in a fruit bowl earlier—a running gag in the episode) and bid them goodnight. Just outside the door, they encounter two women who laugh at their newspaper hats, causing the men to hurriedly remove them. They observe the women entering the neighbor's flat, where a lively New Year's party is in full swing. After a brief deliberation, Rupert and Hubert decide to leave and join the festivities.

Meanwhile, Mr. Bean is in bed, placing Teddy beside him before switching off the light and preparing to sleep. However, he hears the sounds of a countdown and "Auld Lang Syne" coming from the neighboring party. Perplexed, Bean turns the light back on and looks at the living room clock, which displays 1:40 AM. He retrieves a smaller clock from his chest of drawers, showing just past midnight, revealing that the true New Year has begun. Bean becomes irate upon realizing that Rupert and Hubert deceived him by attending the neighboring party. As he switches off the light again, someone from the party shouts, "Three cheers for Rupert and Hubert!"

Act Two: The Sale

On New Year's Day 1994, Bean hurriedly makes his way to the Arding and Hobbs department store to capitalize on the January sales, nearly causing accidents as he parks his car. Dozens of eager shoppers have camped overnight to secure their place in line, but Bean skips ahead to the front where an alarm clock sits next to a sleeping bag, supposedly occupied by someone. He taps his watch, signaling the alarm to go off, startling an elderly couple nearby. Swiftly, Bean retrieves a beanie hiding a cauliflower under the sleeping bag, discards it into a nearby bin, and pops a balloon figure, revealing his ruse—there was no person, just a dummy he set up the previous night to cheat his way to the front.

With the store finally opening, Bean rushes inside, brimming with excitement but unsure where to begin, ultimately heading downstairs. He indulges in a shopping spree, acquiring various items including the display armchair, paint cans, and an assortment of cleaning tools. After securing the armchair to the roof of his Mini, Bean encounters a predicament—having packed everything else inside the car, there's no space left for himself. Undeterred, he ingeniously rigs up a makeshift contraption to drive: a brick tied to a string holds the car in place, the handbrake is released, and he uses cans of paint, strings, and a mop-broom hybrid to operate the clutch, gear stick, steering wheel, accelerator, and brakes.

Initially successful, Bean navigates smoothly until he encounters a danger sign on a steep downhill slope, swerving to avoid a roadworks barrier. However, things take a turn when the broom's head gets stuck under the pedals and breaks loose during Bean's attempts to free it. With no means to stop the car, Bean hurtles uncontrollably towards a parked lorry loaded with mattresses. The inevitable collision ensues, resulting in a flurry of feathers exploding into the air as Bean crashes into the truck.

Act Three: The Window

Back at home, Mr. Bean positions the new armchair with a sigh, removes the doorknob, and places it in the fruit bowl. Coughing out feathers from the earlier mishap, he proceeds to replace the old armchair with the new one. Suddenly, he realizes he must fill the hole near the counter where items frequently fall through, such as a ketchup bottle, a coffee jar, and the fruit bowl. Armed with measurements and pencils held in his mouth and hands, Bean moves to the opposite wall.

He begins drilling along the marked line, unaware that he's also cutting through strings holding up a painting of a teddy bear's birthday, slicing through the lower corner of a kitten painting, and severing the phone line, which stops ringing abruptly. Pausing momentarily, thinking he heard something, Bean resumes drilling, accidentally decapitating the top of Queen Elizabeth II's portrait, slicing through Princess Diana and Prince Charles at their necks, and grazing the legs and groin of a shiny, tanned bodybuilder painting. Collecting the rectangular piece he cut out, Bean fits it into the other hole he intended to patch up.

He takes out the dried-solid paintbrush and begins softening it with a hammer. Moving into the living room, he dips the brush into the paint, causing it to bubble and the bristles to sink into the thick liquid. Mr. Bean then takes Teddy, instructs him to look away, and inserts the brush handle (the metal end) into his rear. Dipping his own head into the paint, he attempts to paint the wall but manages only a few erratic lines, splattering paint on the nearby lampshade and nightstand where the paint can was placed.

Realizing he needs a solution, he grabs a newspaper and meticulously wraps every item in the room, including each individual grape from a bunch. Left with only the clock uncovered, he uses Hubert's forgotten hat to cover it. Discovering a large cracker in a dusty box under the footstool, he gets another idea. Bean places it in the tin of paint, lights the fuse, and rushes towards the door—but he realizes there's no doorknob. Quickly unwrapping it, he barely manages to escape just as the fuse reaches its end. He runs around the corner, plugs his ears, and shuts his eyes.

Meanwhile, Hubert, tired and slightly intoxicated, leaves the neighboring party and realizes he forgot his hat. Knocking on Mr. Bean's door with no answer, he decides to enter. As he steps inside, the cracker detonates. Mr. Bean returns to inspect the aftermath, seeing the exploded tin dripping paint, satisfied that his paint bomb tactic worked. However, he's surprised and puzzled to find white footprints leading from his front door and a silhouette of Hubert frozen on the wall, the only unpainted area, where Hubert had fetched his hat.

Mind the Baby Mr. Bean

Mr. Bean visits a theme park in Southsea, Portsmouth, but accidentally leaves his Mini's boot unlocked, causing it to latch onto a baby's pram that is towed behind his car all the way to the funfair. Upon discovering the "kidnapped" baby, Bean reluctantly decides to care for it while he enjoys his day.

Throughout a series of amusing misfortunes involving a bumper car, a large dog, and the baby's buggy, Mr. Bean eventually decides to explore on his own, leaving the baby in a Postman Pat kiddie ride. He feeds the machine nine coins to keep it occupied. While bored on a roller coaster, he is unexpectedly woken up. At an archery game, he accidentally shoots an arrow that narrowly misses a stall tender's head, prompting an angry shout. Later, at a coin pusher machine, he attempts to cheat by repeatedly banging the machine after it runs out of coins. When he succeeds in releasing a cascade of coins, a young boy promptly steals his prize. Meanwhile, a long queue forms at the Postman Pat ride. When Bean returns to add more coins, an irate mother scolds him for his actions, forcing a disgruntled Bean to retrieve the baby from the red van.

Bean soon notices an unpleasant odor emanating from the baby and realizes its nappy needs changing. Lacking clean diapers, he helps a girl onto a carousel and, to her dismay, pilfers her teddy bear. After she chastises him for taking it, he uses a Swiss army knife to cut open the teddy and fashion a makeshift nappy. Unfortunately, as a ride starts moving, the soiled nappy embarks on a chaotic journey across the amusement park, landing on the faces of unsuspecting bystanders along the way.

After winning a goldfish through some creative tactics at Solitaire Targets, Mr. Bean attempts to hold onto the fish but accidentally swallows it while celebrating a bingo victory. He promptly spits it out into a bowl with another goldfish.

Following the bingo game, unable to soothe the crying baby, Bean decides to purchase a large bunch of helium-filled balloons to lift its spirits. However, the balloons unexpectedly hoist the baby and its pram into the air. Bean, using an arrow from the archery game (amidst the familiar shout of "OY!" from the attendant), sharpens its tip with a pencil sharpener. With precise aim, he pops just enough balloons in one shot to guide the pram to a gentle landing beside the baby's mother. She retrieves her baby, albeit bemused by the teddy bear makeshift nappy Bean had improvised earlier.

Meanwhile, as Bean drives off in his Mini, unaware that it also contains the Doberman he had set free earlier, he discovers he still has the squeaky toy from earlier. Suddenly, the toy squeaks, prompting the Doberman to bark loudly, startling Bean in surprise.

Back to School, Mr. Bean

Act 1: Exploring the Exhibits

Mr. Bean arrives at a school for an open day but struggles to find parking. Spotting a similar Mini, he swaps cars, leading to confusion when soldiers attempt to push the car, believing it won't start. Inside, he inadvertently disrupts an Army Cadet troop by coughing, prompting them to awkwardly respond with synchronized stomps and military commands. While causing chaos, he messes up a stamp album, startles a calligrapher, and gets paper stuck to himself from a malfunctioning Van de Graaff generator, leaving him electrically charged. When he tries to give back a piece of paper stuck to him, the static electricity causes a wardrobe malfunction for a lady nearby, leading to a commotion that necessitates help from others.

Act 2: Science Class

In the chemistry lab, Mr. Bean experiments with various chemicals, accidentally triggering a volatile reaction that results in a dramatic explosion. Blue smoke billows from the lab as Bean narrowly escapes, leaving a younger student covered head to toe in blue chemicals, adding to the chaotic scene.

Act 3: Art Class

In a still-life art class, Mr. Bean becomes frustrated with the teacher's critiques of his work. His dismay escalates when he learns he has to sketch a nude female model. Quick-witted as ever, Bean improvises by fashioning a clay brassiere to cover the model's breasts, allowing him to proceed without embarrassment. However, his antics draw the attention of a young student's mother, who confronts the teacher about Bean's presence in the class. This leads to a misunderstanding that results in the student being reprimanded, much to his mother's frustration.

Act 4: Judo Lesson

Later, during a judo lesson, a nervous Mr. Bean manages to outwit his instructor (played by David Schneider) by rolling him up in a mat. However, after the lesson, Bean discovers he has inadvertently swapped trousers with another man (played by Christopher Ryan). In a desperate search for his own trousers, Bean eventually locates them in the gents' toilets, where he cleverly identifies them by his name tag. In his haste, he clumsily removes the trousers from the man sitting on the toilet, inadvertently causing a comedic mishap involving underwear being thrown and misplaced.

Act 5: Farewell to the Mini

Returning to the car park, Mr. Bean realizes his car is missing. Spotting it in the middle of a crowd of onlookers, he nonchalantly heads towards it with the intention of getting in. Along the way, he gets distracted by a tempting display of cakes on a nearby stand and decides to indulge himself. Oblivious to the looming danger, a massive army tank silently rolls up behind him.

Engrossed in eating his cake, Bean remains unaware as the tank drives over his Mini, crushing it under its weight. It takes him a few moments to register the commotion around him, glancing briefly before returning to his cake. When he finally turns around again, he does a double-take and drops his cake in shock.

Surveying the flattened remains of his car, Bean sadly walks around it, eventually finding his padlock, the only part that remains undamaged. He plays with it for a moment, smiles wistfully, and walks away.

Tee Off, Mr. Bean

Act One: The Laundromat

Mr. Bean sets off for the laundromat to wash his laundry. He struggles to squeeze through the door with his overflowing bin bag of clothes. Spotting an available washing machine, he prepares £2 in coins, only to be surprised by a sign announcing that the price has been raised to £3. Frantically searching through his clothes for loose change, he finds a 20p coin in his jacket pocket, but it's not enough. Desperately, he retrieves a pound coin from a small paper envelope hidden in his trousers.

As Mr. Bean contemplates his predicament, a burly man enters and rudely shoves him aside to claim the next washing machine. This man confidently places his nun chucks inside and nudges Mr. Bean's coins into the adjacent machine, commandeering it. Dressed in a karate uniform with a black belt, symbolizing his martial arts expertise, he pours in detergent powder. Unfazed, Mr. Bean improvises with bathing soap and a grater on his own machine.

Opening his laundry bag, Mr. Bean unpacks his bed sheets, an inflated seahorse floatie (which he deflates by stepping on it), two fuzzy dice from his car, a welcome mat, a lampshade, and Teddy. He cautiously places Teddy inside the machine, but Teddy gets scared and tries to escape. Mr. Bean quickly devises a solution, using an L-shaped drinking straw to suggest that Teddy can breathe underwater, which calms Teddy down and convinces him to stay put.

He retrieves his weekly underpants, missing only Wednesday and Sunday pairs. Faced with the necessity of changing into a timed outfit, he removes his underwear. While heading to the closet to change his trousers, he inadvertently startles a lady, prompting him to quickly turn away. Placing his trousers on the woman's pile of clothes, he mistakenly picks up her skirt instead of his Wednesday underpants. After zipping up, he returns to the washing machine to deposit his Wednesday underpants, having paid £3 for the wash. Sitting down, he belatedly realizes he's wearing the lady's skirt.

Meanwhile, the tough man orders fabric conditioner and notices Mr. Bean conspicuously wearing a skirt. Amused, he teases Mr. Bean with a wink, which makes him nervous. Retrieving his laundry bag, Mr. Bean discovers his Sunday underpants left behind. Unable to open the operating washing machine, he discreetly attempts to wear them under the skirt. The man steps on his underpants, causing Mr. Bean to struggle to evade further embarrassment. The man releases them, causing Mr. Bean to stumble towards the bins. The man smirks and gives him a thumbs-up with a mischievous smile.

Mr. Bean plots his revenge by purchasing a cup of black coffee from the vending machine. Stealthily, he approaches the tough man's washing machine and swaps the fabric softener with coffee in an identical cup. Sitting down, he absentmindedly scratches his knee. When the washing machine chime sounds, the man rises and bends down to check his skirt, unwittingly pouring the black coffee into the detergent inlet. Mr. Bean smirks with satisfaction as he watches the man's laundry process go awry. Discovering his karate uniform stained brown, the man sniffs the empty cup, realizes it contained coffee, and glares at Mr. Bean. To cover his tracks, Mr. Bean blows on the fabric softener and pretends to drink it like coffee. The man storms off in anger, and Mr. Bean feels queasy.

Later, the man confronts the manager in an off-screen argument. Meanwhile, Mr. Bean, still avoiding trouble, transfers his laundry items to the drying machine. He retrieves his lampshade, now missing fabric trim, a floor mat with its welcome text smudged and spots transferred from the fuzzy dice, and Teddy, noticeably shrunk. He attempts to hide as the lady returns to use the dryer for her clothes, all while still wearing her skirt. She checks her watch just before removing her dried clothes and heads back to the now buzzing washing machine.

Mr. Bean searches through her basket for his trousers and even inside her dryer. As he crawls inside, the lady discovers an unfamiliar item among her clothes—Mr. Bean's trousers—and sets them aside. Unaware of Mr. Bean inside, she loads all her washed clothes into the dryer and shuts the door, inadvertently trapping him inside. Mr. Bean frantically knocks on the glass door, trying to stop the machine, but the lady, engrossed in her music through headphones, ignores him and starts the dryer, causing Mr. Bean to spin around inside.

Act Two: Mini Golf

Mr. Bean arrives at the mini golf booth where a kid is playing. He chuckles as he watches the kid struggle, then politely takes his club, ball, and scorecard, thanking the booth attendant who watches him curiously. Moving to the first hole, Mr. Bean casually throws his ball, causing the kid to chase after it. He effortlessly gets a hole-in-one, smugly noting it on his scorecard before sauntering off.

On the second hole, Mr. Bean polishes his ball on his trousers, underestimates the shot, and sends it flying over a fence, much to the attendant's satisfaction. Retrieving it proves challenging as the attendant shouts at him. Attempting to return the ball to the course, Mr. Bean accidentally hits it too hard again, launching it across the golf course, bouncing onto a bus. Mr. Bean ingeniously stops the bus by planting a bus stop sign, boards, and continues trying to hit the ball, causing chaos on the bus.

The ball ricochets off various objects—an ice cream cone, a bench with ice cream, and even ends up lodged in a car's exhaust pipe, causing the engine to explode. Mr. Bean falls into a drain trying to retrieve it, then swats at it in the sewers until it shoots into a rubbish bin. After hitching rides on a tandem bike and a car, Mr. Bean finally cuts a square of grass to retrieve the ball from a car, much to the confusion of a woman playing choir music nearby.

Returning to the mini golf course at sunset, Mr. Bean arrives just as it's closing. He casually rolls the ball into the hole, delighted with himself. Writing an exaggerated score of 3,427 for hole 2 on his scorecard, Mr. Bean heads home, satisfied with his eventful day at the mini golf course.

Goodnight Mr. Bean

Act One: The Hospital Waiting Room

Mr. Bean drives his car closely behind an emergency ambulance, inadvertently blocking its back door and trapping the rescuers and patient inside. Inside the hospital waiting room, he grows increasingly impatient. He starts by discreetly tossing away a girl's doll to make her leave with her mother, then mischievously pinches another man in line, sparking a brief altercation between them. After gesturing his problem to the receptionist, Bean manages to secure a priority ticket.

He hurriedly sits down, snatching the seat from an elderly man, and inadvertently draws attention from a seriously injured patient beside him. Bean inadvertently flaunts his comfort by stretching, waving his hand, and crossing his legs, which annoys the jealous patient. When Bean's ticket number, 76, appears on the screen instead of the expected 23, he discovers his hand stuck inside a teapot, much to the amusement of the patient. Frustrated, he swaps his ticket with hers, causing confusion and playful imitations.

A young schoolboy arrives with a saucepan stuck on his head, comically altering his ticket number to 850. Bean tries to skip ahead by taking an old man's ticket while he sleeps, but is caught in the act when the old man awakens. At the counter, Bean argues with the receptionist, attempting to expedite his turn. Distracted momentarily by a phone call, the receptionist allows Bean to tamper with the digital counter, flipping it upside down in anticipation of his turn.

Excitedly returning to his seat after manipulating the counter, Bean's teapot-hand is firmly grasped by the seriously injured patient, mistaking his turn for hers. As chaos ensues with skipped numbers, Bean is left frustrated as the nurse resets the counter correctly, allowing another patient to be called. Disheartened, Bean sits back down while the gloating patient revels in her victory.

An hour later, Bean awakens to find his ticket, number 52, missing from his hand. Unbeknownst to him, the nurse retrieves the ticket from the floor and calls for the owner, but the injured patient, unable to speak clearly due to bandages, is assisted instead. Realizing his ticket is lost, Bean angrily returns to the queue, inadvertently bumping into the same two men from earlier, reigniting their brawl.

Frustrated, Bean confronts the receptionist again and retrieves another ticket, only to discover it has a much higher number, indicating a longer wait. Disappointed, he tosses it in the bin but gets his hand stuck while attempting to retrieve it. With determination, he pulls out a third ticket with his mouth and returns to his seat amidst the ongoing scuffle between the two men.

Act Two: The Queen's Guard

Mr. Bean visits Windsor Castle, playfully snapping photos in various locations—a window, a door, a rubbish bin and its contents, and a statue of Cupid, which he humorously covers with a plastic food wrapper for modesty before taking the picture.

Passing by the Queen's Guard, Mr. Bean is startled when the Guard suddenly stamps his foot. Undeterred by the Guard's stoic demeanor, Bean attempts to provoke a reaction with gestures—clenched fist, waving hand, and a playful "boo" howl. He decides to capture a selfie with the Guard, adjusting the camera for a wider shot. Checking the time on a sundial, he improvises by placing his camera on its gnomon.

Before snapping the photo, Bean fusses over the motionless Guard's uniform—wiping the steel buttons, dusting off the royal uniform, and grooming the bearskin hat and moustache. In an attempt to trim the moustache neatly, he inadvertently turns it into a Hitler-style moustache with a pair of scissors. Carefully cleaning the rifle without disturbing it, Bean then decides to "decorate" the Guard further.

Gathering flowers, he adorns the Guard's belt and shoulder straps, and places a wreath on the bearskin hat. From his handbag, he retrieves a ping pong ball for eyes and a petal for a mouth, transforming the bearskin hat into a makeshift face. He playfully positions Teddy on the Guard's bayonet as a finishing touch.

Just as Bean sets up the camera for the perfect shot, the Guard's sergeant calls the charge, prompting the Guard to march away—decorations and Teddy included. Bean rushes after them, but the camera captures only his frustrated expression as the Guard walks off with his creations.

Act Three: Falling Asleep

Mr. Bean uses his new electric toothbrush vigorously, causing his head to shake in all directions. He rinses his mouth with a squirt gun and meticulously brushes his ear and combs his eyelashes before bidding himself "goodnight" in the mirror. Heading towards his bed, Teddy is already waiting. Bean picks up a storybook titled "Asterix and Obelix" and chuckles as he reads aloud, amusing Teddy. He decides to add mini glasses to Teddy's eyes to enhance the humor, prompting even more laughter from the stuffed bear. Eventually, he hypnotizes Teddy to sleep and carefully tucks him into bed beneath his own.

With a lazy flick of a pistol, Bean shoots out the light bulb to darken the room, knowing he has plenty of spare bulbs in his drawer. Settling down to sleep, he listens to the gentle sounds of the clock ticking, a motorcycle roaring past outside, and cats meowing in the distance. Disturbed, he improvises by donning a dachshund dog headpiece to scare off the nocturnal disturbances.

Despite his efforts, Bean begins to struggle with insomnia. He grabs an extended glove-on-a-stick to reach the TV remote and flips through channels, stumbling upon a tedious chess competition between intensely focused players. The monotony lulls him into drowsiness until a sudden loud rock music-filled advert jolts him awake. Annoyed, he turns off the TV and resorts to a more traditional method: visualizing a herd of sheep.

As he attempts to count the sheep, Bean miscounts due to his quirky imagination. Seeking a quicker solution, he fetches a calculator and multiplies 27 by 15, arriving at the answer of 405. Satisfied, he finally drifts off to sleep. As the credits begin to roll on the TV, Bean unexpectedly rolls out of bed, concluding the episode in his typically clumsy fashion.

Hair by Mr. Bean of London

Act One: Hair by Mr. Bean of London

Mr. Bean visits Derrick's barber shop for a haircut, opting for a style resembling Prince Charles. However, as he waits, the barber gets distracted by two lengthy phone calls. During this time, three other customers mistake Mr. Bean for a new hairdresser and enthusiastically allow him to cut their hair. His first client, Jamie, a young boy left in Bean's care by his mother, ends up with a bowl over his head, transforming his messy shoulder-length hair into a neater style. Despite a minor mishap with the hair clipper, Jamie is delighted with the outcome.

Next, Bean attempts to trim a man's ponytail but inadvertently cuts it off completely, distracted by the man's magazine. In a quick fix, Bean uses hair mousse and bits of hair from the floor to fashion a makeshift toupee for Roger, an elderly customer whose actual toupee accidentally gets stuck in the clippers.

Later, the three disgruntled customers return, blaming Derrick for their disastrous haircuts. The man with the missing ponytail and Jamie's mother angrily inquire about Bean's whereabouts, although Jamie is surprisingly pleased with his new haircut. Meanwhile, Mr. Bean quietly slips away, concealing his face under a calendar featuring Prince Charles, prompting Roger to mistake him for the Prince himself.

Act Two: The Fête

Mr. Bean arrives at a fête and ingeniously parks his Mini inside a sheep pen, using his car horn to scatter the sheep. He engages in a wire loop game and cleverly disconnects the buzzer to cheat his way to success. Later, he participates in "Hit the Headmaster," targeting George Webb as the headmaster. His enthusiasm escalates as he starts hurling various items like tinned peas and cereal boxes toward the target. He nearly throws a chair but is halted by a vigilant teacher nearby.

Act Three: The Pet Show

Mr. Bean decides to enter Teddy into a pet show and resorts to unconventional methods to ensure Teddy's victory in the competitions. Despite the chaos he creates, Teddy wins first place and a substantial bone as a prize. However, Mr. Bean substitutes the bone with honey for Teddy, causing uproar among the children and dogs attending the event.

Act Four: The Railway Station

Mr. Bean disembarks from a train at London St Pancras railway station but realizes he has lost his ticket. Determined to evade the ticket barrier, he attempts to sneak past but ends up hiding inside a mail bag destined for Moscow. Despite several mishaps, he manages to crawl towards the gate. Just as he celebrates making it through, the gate turns unexpectedly, causing Bean to tumble onto the railway tracks below.

Subsequently, station workers place the mailbag, with Bean still inside, onto a cargo train bound for Moscow. As the credits roll, glimpses of a cargo ship navigating stormy seas and scenes of a French steam train and Russian soldiers marching in Red Square indicate that Bean has indeed found himself unexpectedly in Russia.

Bean: The Movie

Mr. Bean, employed as a security guard at London's "Royal National Gallery," consistently causes disruptions. Faced with complaints about his chronic tardiness, sleeping on duty, and lack of manners, the gallery's board of directors decides to send him to America under the alias "Dr. Bean." His mission: oversee the transfer of the painting "Whistler's Mother" to the Grierson Art Gallery in Los Angeles, California, effectively getting rid of him for a while.

At Grierson Art Gallery, David Langley, the curator, impressed by Dr. Bean's supposed credentials, offers him lodging at his home for two months. However, upon learning the truth, David's family is less than thrilled. His wife, Alison, is openly hostile about hosting Bean, while their teenage daughter Jennifer finds Bean repulsive, likening him to "Meat Loaf's butt."

During the flight to America, Bean inadvertently falls asleep on a fellow passenger's lap, prompting the uncomfortable man to change seats. Later, Bean unwittingly inflates a child's barf bag, causing it to burst and splatter vomit on the very same passenger. Upon arrival at the airport, Bean's mischievous nature leads him to play a prank involving a pretend gun, resulting in a chaotic chase and his brief detention by Lieutenant Brutus, who is bewildered by Bean's bizarre antics.

After being released, Bean meets the Langley family, where he manages to win over Kevin, David's son, despite initial reservations from the family.

After Alison departs due to Bean accidentally breaking a family heirloom while tinkering with a CD player, David offers to take Bean on a tour of Los Angeles art galleries. However, Bean insists on going to Pacific Park instead. They visit a motion simulator ride that Bean initially finds unexciting to the point of falling asleep. Later, when Bean discovers the unattended control room and reads the manual, he decides to enhance the ride's speed and excitement. This modification, much to David's and other riders' horror, quickly leads to Bean being apprehended by Lieutenant Brutus once again.

Back at David's home, Bean's attempt to cook a turkey quickly fails when the microwave explodes, covering the kitchen in turkey flesh. Doubting Bean's purported knowledge of art, David quizzes him with basic and obvious questions about art, revealing Bean's lack of expertise and confirming he is not a doctor after all.

When Whistler's Mother finally arrives at the gallery, Bean is given a brief moment alone to study it before his anticipated grand speech at the unveiling ceremony. However, while dusting the frame, Bean sneezes on the painting and tries to wipe it clean with a handkerchief, unknowingly smearing blue ink across it. Panicking, Bean tries to remove the ink using what he finds in the caretaker's cupboard, mistakenly using lacquer thinner, which damages the paint. In a desperate attempt to repair the damage, Bean crudely paints an unconvincing cartoon face over the damaged area.

David, horrified by the botched restoration, hides the painting in a metallic frame to conceal the damage. Fearing the repercussions of vandalism to Whistler's Mother, David and Bean drown their sorrows in alcohol, anticipating the potential loss of David's job and legal consequences.

During the night, Mr. Bean devises a plan to restore the painting. He gathers household items and sneaks into the gallery. Bean distracts the lone security guard by spiking his coffee with laxatives and misplacing the keys. He swaps Whistler's Mother with a poster replica, enhancing it with egg whites for a painted texture and chewing gum to affix it in place. The next day at the unveiling, David is astonished to find the painting restored, and Bean delivers an unconventional yet well-received speech about its significance.

Following the unveiling, Lieutenant Brutus informs David that his rebellious daughter Jennifer has been in a motorcycle accident and is in intensive care. David, escorted by police, rushes to the hospital but stops en route when Brutus spots a man with a gun.

At the hospital, a mix-up leads to Bean being mistaken for a doctor due to his "Doctor Bean" name tag. He stumbles into an operating theater where Brutus, shot earlier, lies. In a unique turn of events, Bean manages to retrieve the bullet and save Brutus amidst the chaos. Still mistaken for a doctor, Bean is brought to see Jennifer, who is unconscious. Uncertain of what to do, Bean awkwardly handles a defibrillator, accidentally electrocuting himself but miraculously reviving Jennifer. Finally revealed to David and Alison, Bean asks if he can stay longer.

David drives Bean to Sunset Boulevard, where Bean's misinterpretation of a biker's thumbs-up gesture adds to the comedy. After another eventful week with the Langleys, Bean returns home to London. The film concludes with Bean back in his flat, Whistler's Mother with his cartoonish restoration in tow. Breaking the fourth wall, Bean addresses the audience with his signature farewell: "Yes, I normally stay to the end as well... bye."

Mr. Bean's Holiday

Bean wins a raffle and claims his prize: a holiday package featuring a train journey to Cannes, a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96, and €200. Eager to capture his adventure, Bean documents his trip to the French Riviera beach on the video camera.

During the train ride, Bean purchases coffee. Upon arriving in Paris, France, he inadvertently takes a Renault Espace taxi from Gare du Nord to La Défense arch. Realizing his mistake, Bean navigates Paris on foot with his compass, inadvertently causing chaos as he makes his way from La Défense to Gare de Lyon for his next train to Cannes. Unfortunately, his tie gets stuck in a vending machine while attempting to buy a sandwich, causing him to miss his train. With an hour until the next one departs, he decides to sample French cuisine at Le Train Bleu restaurant.

Struggling to communicate in French, Bean misunderstands the waiter's suggestions and accidentally orders oysters and langoustines, which he finds distasteful. He discreetly disposes of the oysters into a nearby lady's handbag and clumsily eats a langoustine with the shell still on before escaping unnoticed.

Back on the platform, Bean enlists the help of Emil Dachevsky, a Cannes Film Festival jury member and Russian critic, to film him boarding the TGV. Despite Bean managing to board, the doors close before Emil can join him. Emil's son Stefan remains on board alone after the train departs.

Bean tries to befriend Stefan but inadvertently misses their train's departure while confronting a suspicious stranger approaching Stefan. With Stefan's father's contact number partially obscured, Bean and Stefan make several unsuccessful attempts to reach him, mistakenly calling a hairdresser, an undertaker, and even a toddler.

Boarding the next train, Bean and Stefan accidentally leave Bean's essentials—ticket, passport, and money—behind, prompting their removal at the next station. They seek assistance from a lady for money to contact Stefan's father, but their efforts prove futile. Ironically, they end up contacting a maid cleaning Stefan's parents' hotel room.

A security camera captures Bean making a comically sinister face while attempting to get money from public phones, leading the station master to mistake them for vandals and chase them away. Feeling hungry and short on cash, Bean and Stepan decide to try busking by miming to Puccini's "O mio babbino caro" (sung by Rita Streich), along with "Mr. Bombastic" and other tunes, which surprisingly proves successful. After their impromptu performance, Bean purchases two bus tickets to Cannes and some food for the journey. However, his ticket gets caught in a breeze and then snatched by a chicken's talon, which ends up in a farm pick-up truck. Determined, Bean steals a nearby bicycle and follows the truck, passing a bicycle race in the process. Arriving at the farm, he discovers a massive chicken pen with thousands of chickens, realizing the ticket is lost. As Bean leaves the farm, he finds the bicycle destroyed by a passing tank, leaving him stranded except for his trusty video camera. Attempting to hitch a ride on a moped proves futile due to space constraints. Ironically, Stefan passes by in a Volkswagen bus as Bean accidentally locks himself in an old outhouse. After narrowly avoiding being hit by a truck when moving the outhouse onto the road, Bean sets off to find shelter for the night.

The next morning, Bean wakes up to find himself in the midst of German World War II soldiers attacking what he later realizes is a village used as a set for a commercial directed by Carson Clay (Willem Dafoe). Joining the action, Bean's antics lead to his dismissal after his camera ends up attached to a gun. When his camera's battery dies, Bean inadvertently causes an explosion on set, injuring Carson and losing his hat.

Continuing his journey hitchhiking, Bean is picked up by Sabine (Emma de Caunes), the actress he encountered during the commercial filming, who is driving a Mini similar to Bean's. She is headed to the 59th Cannes Film Festival for the premiere of Carson Clay's latest film, in which she stars. Pulling over at a petrol station, Bean finds Stefan in the café. On the road to Cannes, Bean discovers Sabine's cell phone, prompting them to try contacting Stefan's father again, with no success—instead, they reach a series of misfortunate individuals including a man who drops his phone in a urinal and another who jumps off a bridge after a breakup.

When Sabine falls asleep at the wheel that night, Bean takes over driving but struggles to stay awake himself. They finally reach Cannes the next morning, capturing photos from above until Sabine nearly misses her premiere. Rushing to the event, they arrive just in time.

At the 59th Cannes Film Festival, Carson walks the red carpet followed by Emil, unaware of Stefan's absence and the chaotic journey Bean and Sabine have endured to get there.

On their way to the 59th Cannes Film Festival, Stefan playfully tries on Sabine's costumes until the Mini runs low on fuel. Bean pulls over to the nearest petrol station to refuel. Meanwhile, back at the Cannes Film Festival, a French man approves Bean's speech. While Sabine stops at a petrol station to change for the premiere, she watches a TV news segment depicting Bean as Stefan's kidnapper and implicating Sabine as an accomplice. The news anchor announces that roadblocks have been set up across France, and there are wanted posters featuring Bean. To avoid capture before reaching the premiere venue, Stefan disguises himself as Sabine's daughter, while Bean dresses as Sabine's mother. They successfully evade the police, and Sabine arrives at the premiere on time.

The trio sneaks into the premiere of Carson's film, "PLAYBACK TIME," a vanity production where he has taken on multiple roles as writer, producer, director, and star. The audience quickly becomes bored from the start. Sabine informs Bean that her significant scene has been cut, leaving her disheartened. Seeing Carson using a similar video camera to his own, Bean heads to the projection room and connects his camera to the projector. The resulting footage prominently features Sabine and Bean, fitting Carson's narration. When security guards chase Bean, he inadvertently ends up on stage while his video plays. Emil, seeing his son's footage, mistakenly accuses Bean of kidnapping Stefan. Just as Bean faces imminent arrest, Stefan emerges from behind the screen, reuniting with his father. The audience, believing it's part of Carson's film, gives a standing ovation. Carson, initially angry, embraces Bean and takes credit for the film's unexpected success.

After the screening, Bean retrieves his camera, leaves the venue, and finally arrives at the beach, joining Sabine, Stefan, and other characters. The film concludes with Bean and the cast miming Charles Trenet's famous song, "La Mer."

Post-credits, Bean writes "FIN" (French and Spanish for "THE END") on the wet sand using his right foot. He films it until the sea washes away the words, symbolizing the conclusion of his journey as his camera's battery dies once more.
