Mr. Bean

Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean brings in his new chair after his "incident", he wheels his old chair over to the wall with a minimal gap to accommodate the new chair. But when he is accidentally dropping things out of the gap in his wall, he goes and looks at the mess he has made and the chair has moved forward considerably without anyone touching it. (00:14:50)

Tee Off, Mr. Bean - S1-E17

Continuity mistake: After Mr. Bean has replaced the detergent with the coffee, he takes the detergent back to his seat and you can see through the plastic cup that it is only half full. But when Mr. Bean goes to take a drink out of it when the other man gets suspicious, you can now see the detergent is almost at the top. (00:10:50)

Mind The Baby, Mr. Bean - S1-E14

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean is playing the dart game, he cheats by putting a card on a dart and throwing it at the wall. When he throws it, the card sticks to the wall on an angle, but when he calls for the guy to look at it, the camera cuts back and now the card is straight and not on an angle. (00:17:10)

Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: Mr. Bean puts Christmas cards in envelopes, then seals each envelope by licking each flap. Then he puts the envelopes through the mail slot in his door, pretending that someone else mailed them to him, which is funny. Then he opens each envelope just by unfolding the flap instead of tearing open the envelope, that means that each flap had not been sealed.

Suggested correction: There is only a few moments between Bean licking the envelopes and then posting them to himself. Obviously the glue on the envelopes hasn't dried yet.

If the envelope Mr. Bean had opened were actually the envelope he had licked, then some part of the glue would have stuck, even though there were only a few seconds between licking, mailing and opening, so we would have seen him have a little resistance from the envelope when he opened the envelope. Also, he licked only one envelope, but he mailed three envelopes, so presumably prior to him coming home in the episode, he had licked the other two envelopes. Because he licked one envelope, it is reasonable he would have licked the other two envelopes earlier.

The Curse Of Mr. Bean - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: It's clear Mr Bean is hanging from the diving board by one hand by the time the boy decides to stamp on his hand. When the boy does stamp on him, watch the position of Bean's left arm in the next shot – he appears to be holding on with both hands.

Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: After Mr. Bean's musical performance, there's a shot of people applauding him. There's a man at the right of the group. In the next scene that same man is seen buying the last two Christmas trees, right before Mr. Bean gets a chance to buy any. There's only five seconds between the scenes. The man couldn't have run to the Christmas tree salesman, talk to him, and pay him for the trees within those five seconds. (00:10:25)

The Curse Of Mr. Bean - S1-E4

Continuity mistake: Just after Mr. Bean's hand is stomped on by one of the boys, and he lets go of the diving board, the camera pans back to show him falling into the water, but the same shot shows no-one else standing on either of the diving boards. The two boys should have still been standing on the higher one.

Suggested correction: This is only an error in the "widescreen," aka cropped version of the episode. In the original 4:3 edit, you can see the two boys at the top of the screen, but the "widescreen" shot cuts them off.

And even then, the boys' legs are still visible in the widescreen version.

The Return Of Mr. Bean - S1-E2

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".
