About This Program ✦
The Return of Mr Bean is a television programme presented as a single episode. It falls squarely within the comedy genre, featuring the well‑known, slap‑slap‑up antics of the titular character as the central focus of the broadcast. In this instalment the ever‑clumsy protagonist sets off on a routine shopping trip, only to turn the simple errand into a series of blunders. His misguided attempts at selecting items and navigating the aisles lead to a cascade of mishaps that leave the store in disarray and the surrounding shoppers bewildered. The chaos does not end there. Later, the same hapless figure finds himself at a film premiere, where he unexpectedly comes face‑to‑face with a member of the royal family. The encounter quickly spirals into an unfortunate incident, further highlighting his talent for turning ordinary situations into comedic calamities. Overall, the episode strings together two distinct episodes of mayhem – the retail disaster and the royal faux pas – each underscored by the character’s signature physical comedy. The narrative stays true to the series’ style, offering viewers a continuous flow of humour derived from the character’s well‑intentioned but disastrous interventions in everyday life.
Mr Bean broadcasts on That's TV (MCR) at 8:05am, Thursday, 5 February 2026.
