half-hour episodes starring
Rowan Atkinson as the
eponymous title character. It
was written by Rowan Atkinson,
Robin Driscoll, Richard Curtis
and Ben Elton. The self-titled
first episode was broadcast on
1 January 1990, with the final
episode, 'Goodnight, Mr.
Bean', on 31 October 1995.

The series followed the
exploits of Mr. Bean,
described by Atkinson as 'a
child in a grown man's
body',in solving various
problems presented by everyday
tasks and often causing
disruption in the process. Mr
Bean is actually nothing like
his character in his films and
episodes. When interviewed Mr
Bean is just a normal human
being.

During its five-year run the
series gained large UK
audience figures, including
18.74 million for the 1992
episode 'The Trouble With Mr
Bean', and was the recipient
of a number of international
awards, including the Rose
d'Or. The show has been sold
in over 200 territories
worldwide, and has inspired
two feature films and an
animated cartoon spin-off.
