One of the things that really annoys me on tv lately Joe,is the very
poor camera work,shakey cam,where you think it was recorded
by a nervous wreck on a trampoline.A case in point was a show
the other night where someone was seated at a desk,and the
cameraman couldn't keep him in frame and the guy hit every
edge of the frame but still he could not centre the shot.Then there
is the short zoom in stages then zooms back to start all over again
I don't know how these "cameramen" hold down a job,pathetic!
That, and this fetish that the tv planners have for squeezing
the end credits into a corner of the screen,telling you about
some programme you weren't going to watch and ruin the end
film score..Like I said,thank God for dvd boxsets.

Nope, this series stars the fella who played "Richard Bouqet" on "Keeping up Appearances" and another old fellow.
Those box sets can be deceiving though. I have that "The Whole Bean" Mr. Bean box set, but it isn't the whole BEAN!
For instance, there is the episode where Mr. Bean goes to a department store to buy a brand new chair and other household items, and there is a whole gag sequence cut out where an elderly couple is going to buy there chair Mr. Bean wants, the elderly woman is in the chair, and since it is one that has a remote control to either have the chair raise or down (to help you get up), Bean unmercifully tortures the old woman by having it go up and down with her in it. It's quite a funny sequence, and it's not in there dammit!

Hi Osi,the episodes on your Mr Bean boxset are as complete as you're gonna get.They are the complete episodes that were shown in the UK,the episodes you saw in the US had extras added,
because of the running times in the US,your episodes fill the half hour
slot whereas in the UK,We have an advert break midway,that allows for making a cup of tea etc,therefore there would be a shortfall,and the TV stations in the US had permission to ad filler
material.You would have thought it could have been included in the out takes, but no.So the shows you have are the Rowan
Atkinson approved episodes.The only TV station that does give
a full half hour etc is the BBC as there aren't any adverts.
