Original Episode Descriptions[]

Mr. Bean

The original pilot episode, winner of the 1990 Golden Rose of Montreux, which introduced us all to the most embarrassing man on the planet, whose personality is a hideous cocktail of viciousness, innocence and ingenuity.
Whether he is in THE EXAM, for which he doesn't know the answer to a single question, or ON THE BEACH where he is trying to change into swimming trunks without taking off his trousers, or in THE CHURCH where he desperately needs to stay awake, Mr. Bean always finds a way that no normal person would even contemplate.

The Return of Mr. Bean

Ill-advisedly, someone has given Mr. Bean his first charge card. He is determined to use it in THE DEPARTMENT STORE, but loses it in someone elses back pocket. However, Mr. Bean never lets go of a valuable possession. In a smart RESTAURANT, how do you discreetly dispose of a meal that you find absolutely revolting? Mr. Bean provides step-by-step instruction. Waiting nervously in the line-up before a ROYAL FILM Performance, Mr. Bean rehearses meticulously for his Big Moment. As for so many, his first contact with a member of the Royal Family will be unforgettable.
Featuring John Junkin, Roger Lloyd Pack & Matilda Ziegler

Revised Episode Descriptions (on US VHS)[]

Mr. Bean

When you're in a tricky situation some people are just no help at all. Like my fellow student in THE EXAM; if I get more than 2%, I'll be amazed. Or that nosey man on THE BEACH, when I'm trying to slip into my swimming costume unseen, or that pompous old twit in THE CHURCH when all I'm trying to do is stay awake! Useless, the lot of them.

The Return of Mr. Bean

Most of what happens in the DEPARTMENT STORE is extremely bad news, but the good news is that my Jacket is smelling less and less of fish as every day goes by. What happens at my 'birthday party' in THE RESTAURANT is best forgotten as, of course, is the regrettable incident with Her Majesty at the ROYAL FILM PREMIERE. No word From Buckingham Palace yet - perhaps she didn't notice?
