MR. BEAN

MR. BEAN

A comedy about a bumbling batchelor, with his rather strange methods of doing things. Starring:

EPISODE 1 - MR. BEAN

Mr. Bean is first seen driving in a red Mini, following a blue Reliant Robin, which gets tipped to the side when he overtakes it. He drives to a school, where he goes straight into a signpost. There, he is ready to sit an exam, and decides to annoy the bloke sitting next to him. When he asks if he's done his revision, he tells him he has, and has concentrated in Trigonometry, and the student tells him he's done Calculus mainly, whereupon Mr. Bean worries him by telling him he believes they concentrated on Calculus last year. He further annoys him when he starts getting his pens and pencils out, by producing dozens of them himself, followed by his lucky mascot of a tot pink panther and policeman, and an alarm clock which he sets. On opening his green paper, he finds he can't answer the questions, and so he takes all measures to look at the other students answers, including pretending to have dropped his pencil, but has little success, and eventually bombs out. Two minutes before the end, the Invigilator asks if at the end, the people who anwered the green Calculus paper, will post them in the green box, and the ones who answered the white Trigonometry paper to post them in the white box. Mr. Bean quickly finds the white paper, and hurriedly answers the questions. When his pen runs out, he grabs one off the student next to him, and shortly has to be told three times by the Invigilator before he stops writing, and his alarm clock goes off. He then drives to a beach, passing the Reliant Robin again, which gets tipped aside. At the beach, he has to go down a lot of steps, and then decides to change into his swimming trunks. However, there is a man wearing sunglasses sitting down in a deckchair, and Mr. Bean doesn't want him to see him changing. He discretely puts his trunks on over his trousers, and very cleverly manages to get them off from underneath. It takes him a while, and after managing it, the man in the chair gets up and picks up a white stick. Mr. Bean then drives to a church, and pushes the Reliant Robin out of it's place. Hearing the hymn 'Eternal Father, Strong To Save' in the distance, he rushes into church, and sits at the front, next to Mr. Sprout. He looks for a book, so Mr. Sprout gives him his, just as the hymn finishes, and everyone sits down, except Mr. Bean, who opens his mouth ready to sing a next verse, then realises the hymn has finished and sits down himself. The vicar then gives a sermon, during which Mr. Bean falls asleep, and after waking up, finds himself accidentally attacking Mr. Sprout. While Mr. Sprout already thinks he's weird, he also gets the sneezes, and, in absence of a handkerchief, blows his nose on the inside of his right pocket on his waistcoat. He then very quietly opens a sweet, and is about to dispose of the wrapper in his right waistcoat pocket, when he remembers blowing his nose, and instead puts it in his left pocket. He tries to pop it into his mouth, without Mr. Sprout noticing. He ends up dropping it down his shirt, just as the sermon finishes, and the hymn 'All Creatures Of Our God And King' begins, and Mr. Sprout refuses to share his hymn book with him, but he is able to join in the 'Alleluias'. During the second and final verse, he starts pushing out the sweet, and pretends to be dancing to the hymn. It falls onto the floor, and, in order to bend down to pick it up, he crosses his heart, and is about to pop the sweet into his mouth, when Mr. Sprout looks at him, and he quickly puts the sweet into his right waistcoat pocket, and then remembers just too late that he blew his nose in it. Finally, He drives away in his Mini, followed by the Reliant Robin, into a 'No Through Road', where his car ends up smashed to pieces.

EPISODE 2 - THE RETURN OF MR. BEAN

Mr. Bean sees a busker by a subway, and when he finds he has no change to give him, he does a bit of dancing to his music, and soon acquires some for him. He goes into a shop, where he thoroughly tests all objects before purchasing, including a telephone, which he takes off a desk. At the counter, he and another customer get their credit cards mixed up, and just as Mr. Bean puts his hand in the man's back pocket to retrieve his own card, he walks off, with Mr. Bean following him, but he doesn't realise this until they get into a cubicle in the toilets. At a restaurant, he writes his own birthday card, and orders a 'Steak Ta-ta'. He finds he doesn't like his steak, and secretly disposes of it in the ashtray, the vase, his bun, under his side-plate, the sugar bowl, another customers handbag, and a violinists trousers. When the maitre D drops something near his table, Mr. Beandecides to blame him for the mess. The manager apologises, and leads him to another table, where he gets another portion of 'Steak Ta-ta'. During a royal line-up, he touches himself up, by pinching some thread from a waitresses dress to floss his teeth, uses some white card to make a pointed handkerchief, and uses the edge of his trouser zip to clean his nails, whereupon he nearly meets the Royal member with his finger sticking out of his zip. When he finally meets her, and bows, he ends up knocking her out, and quickly runs off.

He later goes to the park, where he helps a little boy mend his remote controlled boat, then plays with it himself, and ends up controlling a wheel chair which knocks the boy into the lake. During a picnic later that day, someone tries to steal his car, however, he has very cleverly kept his steering wheel with him.

In an attempt to avoid being caught, he ends up hiding in the letter-box and getting locked in, and when he sticks his tie out, as dog goes for it.

On the train, he is disturbed by a hysterical laughing man, and tris to bury his head in his jacket, put his socks in his ears, and eventually sticks chewing gum in them.

He improvises with the food, by cutting up tree branches for twiglets, and sweetens vinegar for wine, and uses nuts from the bird tree. Fed up, the guests turn his clock forward to midnight, and as it chimes, they and Mr. Bean's teddy sing 'Should old acquaintance be forgot?', then the guests get rid of their silly hats, and join some women in the next flat, one of whom leaves his hat at Mr. Bean's. At a New Year sale, he buys so much furniture, it won't fit in his car, so he ties a chair to the roof-rack, sits in it, and drives from their, using strings tied to the steering wheel, and brushes on sticks to work the pedals. When he coasts downhill, he ends up going up a ramp and into a lorry, containing pillows, and gets stuffing in his mouth. When he re-arranges the furniture, he finds his serving table is moved from the hatch, so he cuts out a piece of the wall, and moves it, but ends up cutt the phone off, and destroying pictures. It also doesn't match the colour, so he decides to repaint. After using his teddy as a paintbrush, and making a mess, he wraps up every object in the room, puts the paint tin in the middle of the room, puts a firework in the tin, lights it, and has to find the doorknob before he can get out.

At a fair, Mr. Bean finds a baby in its pram, which has caught on the carboot latch. When no-one seems to own it, he entertains it by locking it in a kids van. Meanwhile, he has also attracted quite a ferocious dog, which he locks in a ticket stall, and scares off the buyers. He also cheats when he has a go at throwing darts at cards by attaching cards to them first. When he has to change the baby's nappy, he pinches a little girls teddy bear. When he buys the baby a whole load of balloons and ties them to the pram, it floats up in the air, so Mr. Bean buys a bow and arrow, breaks off the rubber stopper, sharpens it with a pencil sharpener, shoots at the balloons, and the baby ends up floating back to its parents. When he realises he has still got a squeaky toy, he sadly squeaks it, without realising he has attracted the dog, which follows him into his car. It is only when he squeaks it in the car that he is scared by the loud bark of the dog.

In an art class, he is too embarrassed to draw a naked woman, so he makes a clay bra to put around her breasts. In karate, he is too scared to do the throw, so he wraps up the teacher in a gym mat. He then loses his trousers, and when he sees the thief with them in the toilet, he reaches under the door, grabs them back, and throws back the thiefs underpants, which land in the bowl. Before he leaves, he buys a cake, but while he does so, a tank comes and drives over his car. He looks sad for a minute, the smiling, he picks up the bolt, presumably intending to take the car he had removed from 'his' parking spot.

For revenge, he swaps his cup of soap for some coffee, which ruin his clothes and cause an angry confrontation with the manager, although in order to convince the customer he has got a cup of tea in his hand, he has to sip some of his soap. Later, Mr. Bean finds his lampshade has shrunk, his doormat is smudged, his car dice lost its spots, and his teddy bear shrunk. When he climbs into a machine to retrieve his trousers, he ends up getting washed.
