Victoria Ward (17 November 2012). "Rowan Atkinson suggests end is in sight for Mr Bean". The Daily Telegraph. Archived from the original on 11 January 2022 . Retrieved 2 November 2018. All 15 episodes of Mr. Bean were produced by Tiger Aspect Productions. Additionally, the character has been used in one-off sketches, guest appearances and television commercials. Episodes: Episode 7: "Merry Christmas, Mr. Bean", Episode 13: "Goodnight, Mr. Bean". Extra Features: 2007 Comic Relief Sketch, "Art Thief", "Scaredy Bean", "Haircut".

In the Comic Relief sketch "Torvill & Bean", Bean is accompanied by a female companion portrayed by Sophie Thompson whose overall appearance resembles Gobb's. Based on a character developed by Atkinson while he was studying for his master's degree at the University of Oxford, the series centres on Mr. Bean, described by Atkinson as "a child in a grown man's body", as he solves various problems presented by everyday tasks and often causes disruption in the process. [2] The series has been influenced by physical comedy actors such as Jacques Tati and those from early silent films. [2] Mr. Bean's long-suffering girlfriend, Irma Gobb (played by Matilda Ziegler), appears in three 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 rather than as 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"; his failure to do so results in her leaving him for good. Despite this, she later reappears in Mr. Bean: The Animated Series. It is revealed in the book Mr. Bean's Diary that her name is Irma Gobb and she works as a librarian at the local library. [15] In MythBusters episode 52– " Mind Control", the idea of painting a room with explosives placed in a tin of paint, as seen in " Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean", was tested and deemed impossible as adequate coverage was not achieved. [64] An image of Mr. Bean grinning mischievously has been used as an internet meme for highlighting sexual double entendres, usually accompanied by the statement "If you know what I mean." [65] In Tetsuo Hara and Buronson's manga Souten no Ken, a parody of Mr. Bean can be found. [66] See also

Mr. Bean often seems unaware of basic aspects of the way the world works, and the programme usually features his attempts at what would normally be considered simple activities, such as going swimming, using a television set, interior decorating or going to church. The humour largely comes from his original (and often absurd) solutions to problems and his total disregard for others when solving them, and his pettiness and occasional malevolence.
