    Bean: The Ultimate Disaster Movie

    Based on a character developed by Atkinson


    while he was studying for his master's degree
    at the University of Oxford, the series centres
    on Mr. Bean, described by Atkinson as "a child
    in a grown man's body", as he solves various
    problems presented by everyday tasks and
    often causes disruption in the process.[2] The
    series has been influenced by physical comedy
    actors such as Jacques Tati and those from
    early silent films.[2]

    During its original five-year run, Mr. Bean was


    met with widespread acclaim and attracted
    large television audiences. The series was
    viewed by 18.74 million viewers for the episode
    "The Trouble with Mr. Bean"[3] and has
    received a number of international awards,
    including the Rose d'Or. The series has since
    been sold in 245 territories worldwide. It has
    inspired an animated spin-off and two
    theatrical feature-length films along with
    Atkinson reprising his role as Mr. Bean for a
    performance at the London 2012 Summer
    Olympics opening ceremony, television
    commercials and several sketches for Comic
    Relief. The programme carries strong appeal in
    hundreds of territories worldwide because, in
    addition to the acclaim from its original run, it
    uses very little intelligible dialogue, making it
    accessible to people who know little or no
    English.
