Bean was always out of his depth in any scenario but place him in these predicaments in a different country and Bean’s problems are just exasperated. It’s a formula that has worked for many years and the writers and Director who been wise in not changing the format too much. Bean will find much to amuse them whilst watching ‘Mr. He really is a love him or loathe him character. The character of Bean really does divide people. I’ve always preferred Rowan Atkinson at his sarcastic best as Blackadder or his dry performances on ‘Not The Nine O’ Clock News’. What started out as a comedy for adults soon found itself as an entertainment for children and the character of Bean became debased as a result.

As Mr Bean rarely speaks anything funny has to be conveyed through the body language of Bean and the situations he finds himself in. The earliest episodes of the television series were often clever as well as comical but as the character has progressed with comedy element seems to have regressed.

With such success a sequel was all but inevitable. The film was released in 2005 and was budgeted to $22 million and globally took $250 million at the box office. The first movie, entitled ‘Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie, was directed by long time collaborator Mel Smith and, like the TV series it was a huge hit. Bean has featured in several spin offs including an animated series that ran for 63 episodes and two movies.

Mr Bean was originally conceived by Rowan Atkinson whilst he was studying at Oxford University.

As the woman who’s bag Bean left the oysters in receives a phone call Bean beats a hasty retreat. Encouraged to eat by the maitre de Bean finds the oysters vile and deposits them in a woman’s handbag before eating a langoustine, shell and all. This means that he does not understand the menu and accidentally orders fruits de mer which is a large plate of oysters and langoustine. Unfortunately the only French Bean knows is oui and non. Whilst waiting for his train to leave for Cannes Bean patronises a restaurant. Soon he is off to France utilising his new camcorder at every opportunity. Bean realises his mistake and the prize is his. The raffle is drawn and initially Bean is disappointed as the number drawn is 919 and he has ticket number 616.
