Rowan Atkinson’s adorable performance as Mr Bean made him a household name. It was one international sitcom that I could watch with my family. The man who made us laugh with over-the-top expressions, had a story to tell with every episode.
This Bafta award-winning episode, The Curse of Mr Bean, was the third of the first series, and it contains some of the most sublime moments in comedy. There isn’t one dud joke.
Simple but important lesson: Some things just don’t go into a sandwich!
When Mr Bean met with the royalty, that too was a laugh riot.
Simple but important lesson: No matter how much you practise your greeting, the dumbest of mistakes can leave you flat on your face.
Poor Bean!
DIY Christmas Dinner!
Haven’t all of us scampered to put something up for dinner when one invites guests without prior preparation?
Simple but important lesson: Avoid turning your kitchen into a science experiment, it will be counter-productive.
Thank you Rowan Atkinson for giving us Mr Bean’s amazing experiments with life. Keep the eccentricities coming.
Sincerely,
A Mr Bean lover
