The Best Bits of Mr. Bean is the 15th and final episode of the live-action Mr. Bean series. It was released in December 15, 1995. It is compilation of several Mr. Bean live-action episodes.
Plot[]
During a rainy day, Mr. Bean and Teddy venture into the attic to look for an umbrella so they can go to the park and feed the ducks. While looking for one, Bean uncovers various items from his past adventures, like the time Bean had to dress himself on the way to the dentist, the time he fell asleep in church, when he had a Christmas turkey stuck on his head and even the time a tank crushed his Mini. When he finally finds an umbrella, he looks out the window to find that the rain has stopped. Realizing that he has wasted his day, Bean angrily leaves the attic as a boomerang he threw out the window earlier finally lands on the roof.
Alternate version[]
The original transmission of this episode ran for 72 minutes, but later releases and TV broadcasts were cut to 52 minutes under the heading The Best of Mr. Bean. Clips deleted from the later edits included Bean helping a busker in The Return of Mr. Bean, Bean trying to stay awake in church and sitting in an exam from the pilot episode, as well as newly released footage of Bean accidentally pulling his television aerial cable and lifting the television up from the floor below (before letting go and smashing it).
