The Best Bits of Mr. Bean

Several years after the introduction of the hilarious Bean show, it is only natural that there should be a Best Of episode. We get a look back at some of his old classic bits, and probably the only thing disappointing is that there is no way that they could fit all of the worthy skits into one episode. My favorite of the flashbacks is definitely when he drives his car with the armchair on the roof, this is something that only Bean could come up with. He has such a bizarre outlook on the world that when he gets these wild ideas into his head, you don't even think twice. I mean after all, the guy locks his car with a padlock! I'm still not crazy about the out of control giant turkey scene, but all the rest are great fun. Even the turkey scene is amusing, the thing is just so pasty and clammy and unpleasant looking. Interestingly, the attic scenes with teddy, which we cut back to in between flashbacks, are also some of the better parts of the episode. Bean's "ta-daaa!!" when he opens Teddy's umbrella is a comedy skit unto itself. Outstanding!
