Trivia

The Latin lyrics used at the beginning are "Ecce homo qui est farba, qui est farba, qui est farba", which mean "Behold the man who is a bean". At the end, it's identical, but "Ecce" is changed to "Vale"; "Farewell, man who is a bean." Before and after the advert break (in the UK version), the lyrics are "Fin de partie primae" and "Pars secunda" - "End of Part One" and "Part Two". See more...

Season: Whole show  1  All

All of series 1 (season 1)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: In the later intros (when Mr Bean falls into a spotlight in a town) part of Mr Bean's foot isn't in the spotlight, but it still has a shine.

Mr. Bean (season 1, episode 1)

⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: Before the church scene, Mr. Bean drives into the car-park and knocks the blue car off the road. Look at the car closest to the camera, as Mr. Bean reverses, you can see a person and a crane above him reflected in the window. Also, in the blue car's window closest to the camera, you can see dolly tracks.

Visible crew/equipment: When Mr Bean parks his car outside the examination hall, as he reverses into his spot, you can see a group of plain-clothed crew members pushing the camera reflected in the car nearest to the camera. More noticeable as the camera is actually moving.

The Return Of Mr. Bean (season 1, episode 2)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: The yellow towel Mr. Bean puts in his basket in the department store is so large it nearly takes up all the space in his basket, yet when he rides up the escalator, the the towel is now half the size of the basket, even though it's folded.

Revealing: When we see the close-up shot of Mr. Bean's new American Express card the first time, the name on the front is Mary.

The Library (season 1, episode 3)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: In the extra 'Library' scene, the book that Bean is given already has the loose pages before he has been at them with the knife. (At one point the pages get pushed forward a little bit, meaning that they're not fastened into the book.)

Edit
⇑
⇓

Revealing: Just before Mr Bean rips a page out of his book, there is already a tear in it just before he actually tears it, which is not visible in any of the preceding shots.

Continuity: Just when Mr. Bean's hiccups are over the guy sitting on the table with him takes his right hand up to the book and has his left lower arm is on the table. But after Bean hiccups again he suddenly has his right hand down again and his left hand on his book.

Edit Picture
⇑
⇓

Revealing: When Mr Bean's book falls apart, he tries putting the book back together, and he holds one page up to the camera and it has a slight reflection as if it is glossy paper. As far as I know old books like the one Mr Bean had don't have pages like that. It's an obviously fake book.

The Curse Of Mr. Bean (season 1, episode 4)

⇑
⇓

Plot hole: In the swimming pool scene, we see the female lifeguard swapping places with the male lifeguard on a raised seat by the pool. However, shortly afterwards, he tells everyone to leave the pool and is not on the platform. (Why would he go up to the platform in the first place if everyone was getting out shortly anyway?)

Edit

⇓

Revealing: When Irma screams at seeing Mr Bean with his jumper pulled over his head, all of the other cinema patrons jump with shock - except for the woman directly behind the two of them, on the right of the screen. She just grins and laughs, forgetting that her character shouldn't be in on the joke.

Visible crew/equipment: As Mr. Bean goes up the ladder to get to the diving board, the camera follows him, and behind him on the wall you can see the light reflection following him.

⇓

Continuity: When Mr Bean is trying to get out of the car park through the entrance, he uses a wheelie-bin to simulate a car to get the gate to open. After he's out and shifted the bin, he's blocked in by another car. We see a hand take the next ticket (presumably belonging to the driver of the incoming car) but the car pulling up in front of Mr Bean is so far away from the ticket machine its not possible for him to take it and drive into the car park in the short amount of time seen, plus we never see or hear anybody get out of the car to get the ticket.

Revealing: When Mr. Bean forces the Reliant to reverse out of the car park and turn on its side, as it lays on its side it is obvious that the driver is a plastic dummy.

Mr. Bean Goes To Town (season 1, episode 6)

⇑
⇓

Continuity: Mr. Bean places his shoe on top of the car in the bottom right corner. But when he jumps out in front of the car, it is suddenly at the front in the middle.

Visible crew/equipment: When Mr. Bean takes his TV out of the box, he faces it the way of the camera. As he turns it around a boom pole, a studio light and a camera can be seen reflected in the TV glass.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When the magician pulls the scarf from Mr Bean's jacket, if you freeze frame the scene you can see that the scarf is already in Mr Bean's jacket and the magician just takes it out. But since Mr Bean showed up late to the magic act, the magician would not have had any chance to put the scarf there before Mr Bean came up to the stage.

The Trouble With Mr. Bean (season 1, episode 8)

⇑
⇓

Revealing: Near the beginning, when Bean is asleep, we see him put his toe over the hose to prevent the water from spraying out - however, if you watch closely, the water flow stops moments before his toe comes into contact with the hose.

Edit
⇑
⇓

Visible crew/equipment: When Mr. Bean is going to the dentists and is getting dressed in his car, in one shot there is an overhead shot of the car and in the reflection of the windscreen, you can see the crane filming the shot.

Edit Time
⇑
⇓

Continuity: When Bean is putting his shoes on, out the window the scenery is going straight but in the overhead shot he is on a roundabout.
