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.
