This is, um, a bit weird.

Uh huh
The Thin Blue Line is also v good, and quite different from Black Adder.
l used a Mr. Bean sketch in the TESOL training course l ran in China for years. At one stage l was considering developing lessons on each and every Bean sketch, but in the end l found l didn’t need to, although l might reconsider that decision.

For what it’s worth the best Mr bean episode is the one where he goes shopping in the mall and proceeds to pull out a fish from his pocket to test if the pan will be big enough to cook his fish in. The thought of someone walking around with a full fish in their inner jacket pocket cracks me up.

Loved the one where he is trying to make a sandwich on the park bench and pulls out a lettuce leaf and sardines for all parts of his coat.
Loved Mr Bean, was absolutely brilliant

I didn’t watch many episodes of Mr Bean, found him annoying and amusing at the same time (maybe that’s what it was meant to be).
The episode where the girlfriend was trying to give him a hint to buy her a ring when walking past a jewellers store. In the window there was a pic of a happy looking couple looking at a ring and then at the end of the episode she’s waiting in anticipation and him proud as punch presents her with the pic that was in the window.

I’ve been watching them all again a lot recently as I introduced the show to my seven-year-old and he loves it. The swimming pool gets the most requests.
Two actors who were in Ghostbusters 2 the judge and the creep who owns the painting museum lols
And the bloke who sat next to him gives Bean his other sandwich rofl.
In the end, that was the sketch l used to develop a couple of exercises for a TESOL lesson, but many other lessons l am sure are possible. Like him or not, one of the main reasons Bean is hugely popular right around the world, is because his sketches rely on minimal dialogue, to get their point across.
And the third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) was Spotty…
