Three classic episodes from Rowan Atkinson’s’ rubber-faced alter-ego, the ‘master of disaster’ himself: Mr. Bean.
Mr Bean 2
Unleashed for the first time ever on DVD, Mr. Bean, the ‘master of disaster’, is back with three classic action-packed adventures. Mr Bean 2 brings together three of the original episodes – The Curse of Mr. Bean, Mr. Bean Goes To Town and The Trouble with Mr Bean starring Rowan Atkinson (Not The Nine O’clock News, BlackAdder series 1-3. BlackAdder Goes Fourth, BlackAdder, Back & Forth, Johnny English), along with Royal Bean, an episode from the hugely popular animated series. Also available on video, Mr. Bean 2 is filled with so much mirth and mayhem that you will be glued to your seat watching it over and over and over again!
Compilation
Following on from Mr Bean 1, released last year, this brand new compilation will give fans of the series the chance to revisit the hilarious classic episodes which have not been seen on TV for some time. It will also give new fans the chance to enjoy Mr. Bean at his ‘live action’ best. On Mr. Bean 2, we see Mr. Bean take on a series of everyday tasks which to anyone else would be mundane and ordinary but of course whenever Mr. Bean is involved, nothing is simple for long!
During a visit to the swimming pool, Mr. Bean gets very excited about the prospect of a dive from the top board. When he discovers he hasn’t quite got the nerve for it, he rapidly loses his self respect…and his swimming trunks! On the park bench Mr. Bean displays more futile ingenuity when he demonstrates how to make a sandwich. Mr. Bean is convinced that a horror movie is his favourite form of entertainment...until the movie begins
Mr. Bean has bought his first television, and at first is having trouble with the reception, but soon finds an unusual problem to the solution. Mr. Bean has another new toy, a Polaroid camera, and takes it to the park. There follows an evening at Club Phut where a magician suicidally invites Mr. Bean to help him out with a few tricks, and Mr. Bean has to escape to the disco where he seizes the opportunity to display his considerable dancing skills
Mr. Bean oversleeps, but with some ingenious driving gets him to the dentist’s appointment on time. However, the dentist ends up wishing he hadn’t arrived at all. He spends his afternoon in the park and shares his picnic with an unwelcome guest.
Mr. Bean smashes his favourite mug, the one with the Queen’s face on it. A chase through London streets brings him to Buckingham Palace.
Created by Rowan Atkinson, Richard Curtis and Robin Driscoll, Mr. Bean was first aired on British television on 1st January 1990. Even though only 14 episodes were ever made Mr. Bean has been broadcast all over the world making him an international superstar. In 2002, the Mr. Bean character was transformed into an animated series and is a favourite of children aged 5-12 year olds with a range of merchandise which includes his lovable Teddy, books, Mr Bean plush toys and of course his Mini. Mr. Bean – The Ultimate Disaster Movie was released in 1997 and is one of the highest grossing UK films ever made
Physical Humour
With his unique brand of physical humour and single-minded determination that has made him a hit with both young and old, Mr. Bean inhabits a world that is all his own. With his unique view on life Mr. Bean is wholly oblivious to the outside world.
With no language barrier, Mr. Bean is an international superstar, sold to 245 territories worldwide and seen on over 50 airlines. In 1997 the full-length feature Bean - The Ultimate Disaster Movie took a staggering $240.00 million worldwide. Mr. Bean has also won and international Emmy Award and a Golden Rose of Montreux.
