Mr Bean - Series 1: Volume 1-4 (Digitally Remastered 20th Anniversary Edition) [DVD]

Buy Bean's Brilliant Boxset
Mr Bean all the way. Despite being filmed back in the early 90's when I was a young boy, it has, like Fawlty Towers remained a timeless masterpiece. In fact the fact it is slightly dated adds to it's charm. Now I watch it with my young daughters and we laugh at all of Bean's ridiculous antics. My older daughter does an impression of Bean when he wakes up in the episode where he visits the dentist played by Richard Wilson. Meanwhile my other daughter, who is just learning to speak, points at the D.V.D box and says 'Bean, Bean', so it clearly does something for old and young alike. In addition to this, my father-in-law who is Polish and doesn't speak English finds it hilarious because there is so little talking (oh by the way, if anyone doesn't understand the small amount of English spoken throughout the box set, there are subtitles) and it is purely the actions of Bean that make it funny.So to summaries, if you are looking for a well priced, consistent bit of harmless fun that can be enjoyed by all ages, genders and backgrounds, Bean's Brilliant Box set is most likely right up your street.

Mr. Bean
At last you can now buy a complete box set of Mr Bean T.V. episodes. so any you have missed or like will be on these 4 DVD discs. there is also two episodes not shown on T.V. and the best of MR. Bean and also how MR. Bean was created. of course the man who brings all this to life is Rowan Atkinson. a great comedy actor and a genius at this kind of comedy. MR. Bean does not speak much all is done by the hilarious antics and facial expressions that alone are a scream to laugh at. truly Rowan Atkinson is the only person to bring 'Bean' to life. a gem of comedy of pure 5 gold star value and entertainment. so enjoy!!!

Great value for money
Excellent quality

Excellent picture quality, though some minor purist niggles
Bean has been digitally remastered and the picture quality is a definite upgrade on previous DVDs, that said the first episode has the famous Bean falling into the street intro added then the episode begins with the original intro music and credits removed (no big deal but definitely felt a bit off if you've seen the episode numerous times like me) the incidental music can be heard throughout the rest of the episode though. The original black and white intro that was in the next couple of episodes have also been replaced by the street intro, but i'd class that as an improvement, since it's essentially the same footage of Bean. The biggest kicker for me though is them changing the silent Merry Christmas Mr Bean opening, so it just plays out in full with the theme music, rather than Bean dropping then fading to black and into the episode, symbolising 'Silent Night' on Christmas Eve.All 14 episodes and two deleted scenes are presented rather nicely across 4 discs. Also included is The Best Bits of Mr Bean that was only previously available on the original VHS release which was a compilation with newly recorded Mr Bean material interwining into the best sketches.If that wasn't enough there's also a really good documentary 'The Story of Bean' which features interviews from Rowan Atkinson and Richard about the origins and creation of Mr Bean. A definite must for Bean fans!Would've been nice if the Comic Relief sketches and other deleted scenes were included but you can't have everything!Overall a great release and definitely worth buying.

More than AMAZING!
Greatest Quality ever, for the price I paid, and this Legendary Classics you can just watch over and over again with your Family, and it never gets boring or old! He just never seems to fail to make me laugh, I could watch him forever.. Silent Acting is the best, much Physically harder but the BEST! I cannot fault this at all, not one bit, best thing that was ever made for "Mr.Bean"! Love "Rowan Atkinson" being one of my most Loved and Favorite Actors of all time. :-DIt's Amazing to have all the Episodes and Series "Rowan Atkinson" has done all together on one Box Set, to celebrate the Genius. :-)Loved the never before seen "Mr.Bean" Episodes toooo! :-D

Magic of Mr Bean
I had the original individual released DVDs one to five in traditional DVD cases and have re bought this set. This has proved to be a good idea since the picture is actually better with the re mastering on this set. Also this set is far more compact and each disc has more playing time than the original release.The series of short films are of course just brilliant and can be played over and over again.A very funny series that leaves you wanting more. But actually it is good that it never got bad or lame. So these classic comedy films on this handsome package will continue to give much pleasure. A great product.

Very funny, great value, family entertainment
A great collection of Mr Bean sketches - 4 DVDs with more than 7.5 hours of viewing including full versions of many of the well known sketches e.g. Merry Christmas Mr Bean - where he ends up with the turkey on his head.The clever thing about Mr Bean is that he mostly mimes so, whilst you can select lots of different languages at the beginning, you need very little knowledge of English to understand him. We entertained our Spanish cousins (aged 2 upwards) as well as grandparents. Grown ups will both cringe and laugh out loud at his antics.

Fans of Rowan Atkinson will love it.
If you have seen the Mr Bean movies or johnny English comic spoof spy movies, then this is where it began. Very funny if you like slapstick, physical comedy and the concept of a child in a grown man's bod. A loveable idiot solving various problems presented by everyday tasks inevitably causing extreme chaos in the process. Shades of Stan Laurel in Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin and Jacques Tati.Fans of Rowan Atkinson will love it.

To see again and again.

GENIAL!!!
Está formado por una caja de cartón que contiene 4 dvds en cajas de plástico delgado, por lo que no ocupa mucho más que 2 dvds normales. La calidad de imagen y sonido son muy buenas, hay que tener en cuenta que el 1er capítulo es de 1989, en cuanto al contenido...he vuelto a llorar de la risa después de tantos años, a pesar de haber visto en su día una y otra vez todos los capítulos cuando los enchaban por la TVG, es un humor atemporal, nada que ver con las dos películas que hizo para el cine, que no me gustaron nada, éste es el auténtico, pagué 15 euros y los doy por bien empleados.

Was not informed this was Region 2?!?!
Big fan of Mr. Bean but was not informed ANYWHERE on Amazon that this DVD is Region 2. Will NOT play on our American players--beware!
