Mr. Bean

  You must have seen this man somewhere-funny­looking,always in a jacket and a red tie. He seldom talks but always acts humorously.Who is he?He is the well­known Mr.Bean,who is very popular with most people all over the world and he always makes us laugh by means of his funny body language.

  Mr. Bean is the main character in the British comedy television series of the same name.It was written by Rowan Atkinson,Robin Driscoll,Richard Curtis and Ben Elton.The first episode was shown on 1st January 1990 and its final episode Good Night,Mr. Bean was shown on 31st October 1995.During its five­year run,the series gained a large audience in the UK and throughout the world.People are most amused by the antics(滑稽动作) of Mr.Bean-a child in a grown man's body.

  Mr.Bean often seems short of worldly(善于处事的)experience.The program usually shows his attempts to complete what would normally be considered simple tasks,such as going swimming or taking an exam.But he is quite not clever in dealing with the problems presented to him each time. The humor largely comes from his original solutions to any problem and his total disregard for others when solving them.

  The role of Mr.Bean is played by Rowan Atkinson-an Oxford University graduate.Atkinson is considered to be a great comedian in the style of Charlie Chaplin.People are very impressed by his humor.

If you enjoy Mr. Bean,please enjoy his shows-Mr. Bean!
