Misplaced Pages

Bean treats himself to a bank holiday weekend at the Queen's Hotel, where he seeks competition with his hotel neighbour involving accommodation and dining. After he eats some spoiled oysters for dinner by accident, he has a nightmare about them and his neighbour. With his stomach turning, he goes outside of his room naked to complain to his other neighbour who is playing very loud music, but accidentally gets himself locked out, prompting him to try sneaking back into his room without being seen.

Mr. Bean visits a rare book library, where he reads a rare tome that must be handled with gloves. While using a pencil and a crayon to copy an illustration from the book by shading on a piece of tracing paper, he sneezes and the tracing paper slips away. He does not notice this, and continues to go about shading, but directly onto the book instead of the tracing paper. Upon eventually realising this, he attempts to remove the crayon marks – first by erasing, and then by using correction fluid, which only adds to the problem when it spreads to the opposite page after Bean shuts the book to a passing librarian. Eventually, he tears out the pages he has ruined.

Bean then proceeds to use a box-cutter knife to neaten up the stubs of the pages he has torn out, but in doing so inadvertently cuts other pages, causing the book to fall apart. Bean's final solution is to swap his book with that of someone else at his table; he almost succeeds, but when he returns to retrieve his bookmark from his original book, he is subsequently caught red-handed.

Mr. Bean waits at a bus stop behind a man; when the bus arrives, the man gets on, but the driver turns Bean away as the bus is full. Determined to be the first in line for the next bus, Bean tries to cut ahead of a woman (Matilda Ziegler) with a baby carriage who gets in line ahead of Bean when he steps away for a moment, and a blind man (Robin Driscoll) who pushes in without knowing. Soon after Bean manages to get to the front, several people join the end of the line, and the bus arrives.

Bean is in a police station because his car has been broken into. He wears a red nose and has other red nose items, including a mug and a codpiece. He reveals to the policewoman (Matilda Ziegler), through the use of written signs, that he is doing a sponsored silence, sponsored tea drinking, sponsored codpiece wearing, and sponsored Madonna impression – presumably to raise money for Red Nose Day charities. When the policewoman is out of the room, Bean answers the phone but the caller hangs up since Bean hardly even speaks.

The title is a play on the names of Torvill and Dean famous British ice-skaters. Mr. Bean goes on a date with a woman to an ice skating show, where he wreaks his usual havoc when he attends a performance of "Show on Ice". He ends up posing as Christopher Dean when he accidentally knocks him out cold in his dressing room, leaving Mr. Bean to take his place alongside Torvill on the skating rink. After a disastrous performance, Christopher goes on stage and punches Mr. Bean, knocking him out. This sketch contains no laugh track, since it was not shown to a live audience.

Bean causes chaos at a wedding he is attending. First, at the beginning of the ceremony, he rushes down the aisle where the bride and her father are walking and in the process knocks the father down. Then, when the father attempts to take his seat, he finds that Bean is sitting in his spot and forces him to move along. As the priest starts the ceremony, Bean becomes bored, and also notices that all the men have flowers on their tuxedos. Wanting one, Bean attempts to pick a flower off of one of the decorations, but ends up disrupting the ceremony when the whole decoration falls onto the ground. Despite this, he successfully gets the flower and puts it on his shirt. When the priest gets to the part where there are any objections to the marriage, Bean sneezes loudly and steals the tissue off of the bride's mother to blow his nose. The ceremony continues with Bean shushing a man and woman coughing, and then the whole ceremony abruptly stops when Beans gift wrapped alarm clock starts ringing continuously. Bean attempts to silence it by hiding it under his jacket, but when this doesn't work, he frantically opens the box, accidentally hitting the mother with this hand and the father with the lid in the process, and finally shuts it off. By this point, everyone is becoming annoyed by Bean and his behaviour, especially the father.

The ceremony resumes with a choir boy singing, but Bean becomes so bored by this he falls asleep and starts snoring on the father's shoulder, but he suddenly wakes up when the song ends. When it is time for the bride and groom to exchange vows, Bean interrupts by repeating the first line that the groom was supposed to say. He then mocks the groom while he is repeating the rest of his vows. When it is the bride's turn to say her vows, Bean distracts the cameraman by acting ridiculously to the lens. The priest then finally declares the two husband and wife, and when the two kiss Bean humorously covers his eyes.

Mr. Bean returned in a sketch for Comic Relief to celebrate his 25th anniversary. In the sketch, Mr. Bean attends a funeral and does his best to fit in. When a man next to Bean blows his nose, Bean does the same thing, but blows loud. He also cries when people start to cry. When Bean sees a man bowing to the coffin, kissing the wife and shaking the husband's hand, Bean does the same thing, but he kisses the wife passionately and hugs the husband.

A man pats the coffin, so Bean gently pats the coffin before patting the coffin again and pretends that the deceased is alive, before explaining that it was a joke. Before going to his seat, Bean takes a selfie next to the coffin.

When he sees a girl putting a flower on the coffin and hugging the coffin, Bean decides to do it, but since he doesn't have a flower, he puts a bag of boiled sweets on the coffin, but when hugging it, he accidentally knocks it down but manages to fix it a little (with some help), but rearranges the word "love" to "vole". When he sees the wife cry, he goes to kiss her before being pulled away by the man.

Remake of The Exam.

A video that appears only on YouTube.

Rowan Atkinson made a special appearance, in character, as Mr. Bean (though without his trademark outfit and with grey hair) at the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony. He pretended to accompany the London Symphony Orchestra in performing the theme from Chariots of Fire while taking pictures with his phone and blowing his nose.

Bean appeared in the Chinese film Top Funny Comedian, based on the TV series of the same name.

The movie involves a number of characters getting involved in a series of misadventures during a visit to Macau, at the same time as Mr. Bean.
