Mr Bean-Library
Funny moments in the library
Mr Bean :Bad customer service
Mr Bean tries to get service in a china shop but the shop
assistant is on the phone to her friend. He explodes a paper bag to get her
attention.
The animated series
Bean was revived in a 2002–2004 animated cartoon series, again
featuring little dialogue, with most being either little soundbites or
mumbling. The series, which consist of 26 episodes (with 2 segments each),
expanded the number of additional characters, featuring Bean's unpleasant
landlady, Mrs. Wicket, and her evil one-eyed cat, Scrapper. Atkinson reprises
his role as Bean, and all of the animated Bean actions are taken from Atkinson
himself. Other characters' voices are provided by Jon Glover, Rupert Degas,
Gary Martin and Lorelei King.
Music
Mr.Bean features a choral theme tune written by Howard
Goodall and performed by the Choir of Southwark Cathedral (later Christ Church
Cathedral, Oxford). The words sung during the title sequences are in Latin:
- Ecce homo qui est faba – "Behold the man who is a bean" (sung at beginning)
- Finis partis primae – "End of part one" (sung before the advertisement break)
- Pars secunda – "Part two" (sung after the advertisement break)
- Vale homo qui est faba – "Farewell, man who is a bean" (sung at end)
The theme was later released on Goodall's album Choral
Works. Goodall also wrote an accompanying music track for many episodes. The
first episode of Mr. Bean did not feature the choral theme tune, but instead an
up-beat instrumental piece, also composed by Howard Goodall, which was more an
incidental tune than a theme. It was used while Bean drove between locations
intimidating the blue Reliant, and as such, was sometimes heard in later
episodes whenever Bean's nemesis is seen.
Mr Bean :Other characters
Irma Gobb
 |
| Matilda Zeigler |
Mr. Bean's girlfriend, Irma Gobb (played by Matilda Ziegler), appears in a number of episodes. In "The Curse of Mr. Bean" and "Mr. Bean Goes to Town", the character is simply credited as "the girlfriend." She is treated relatively inconsiderately by Bean, who appears to regard her more as a friend and companion than a love interest. However, he does become jealous when she dances with another man at a disco in "Mr. Bean Goes to Town", and she certainly expects him to propose to her on Christmas Day in "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean", with his failure to do so resulting in her leaving him for good. The character does not appear in any subsequent episodes, however, she later appears in the animated series. The spin-off book Mr. Bean's Diary (1993) states that Mr. Bean met Irma Gobb at a local library. Maltilda Ziegler has also played a waitress, a mother and a policewoman.
Hubert & Rupert
Rupert & Hubert are friends of Mr. Bean who only appeared in "Do it Yourself Mr. Bean." They attended Mr. Bean's New Year's Eve party. They got bored, altered Mr. Bean's living room clock, and fled to a nearby party, with Hubert leaving his hat at Bean's. After the party Hubert was last seen going for his hat during which he got caught in the blast of white paint. Neither are seen after "Do it yourself Mr. Bean".
