Mr. Bean’s Rowan Atkinson Unveiled Rare Behind-The-Scenes Secrets

Rowan Atkinson and Robin Driscoll, and writer Richard Curtis talked and recalled filming Mr. Bean, an award-winning British sitcom that ran from 1990 to 1995. The show’s ninth episode, “Do-It-Yourself Mr. Bean,” was quite memorable, especially the scene that features (Atkinson) purchasing so many post-holiday home items that he has to sit in an armchair strapped to the roof of his Mini as it slams into a mattress truck.

The show, with its many wide-screen shots and minimal dialogue, was the perfect vehicle to showcase Atkinson’s non-verbal and one-liner comedic style and impressive improvisational skills.
