Synopsis of Mr. Bean

Mr. Bean is a sitcom created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson, airing on ITV in the United Kingdom. Atkinson plays the title character, a simple-minded grown man who faces the most ordinary tasks of everyday life. Everything takes place in London, where Bean only sets out to handle a routine errand, but every task goes wrong because of his clumsiness and innocence. He rarely speaks, so the comedy relies on mime and physical gestures. Bean usually gets out of each jam with ingenuity, though at the cost of landing in new messes. Each episode presents a different problem, and the humor comes from the gap between what the protagonist is after and what he ends up causing.
