Action replay for Mr Bean as he takes another spin on TOP of his Mini in remake of classic scene

20th September 2009

Comic actor Rowan Atkinson amazed with his bumbling Mr Bean character by driving a Mini around a race track – while sitting on an armchair strapped to the roof.

The car fan, who played the iconic role on TV from 1989 to 1995, was recreating one of the show's most memorable scenes at the Goodwood Revival festival.

In the sketch, Mr Bean buys several items of large furniture and then realises they will not fit in his Mini.

Wheeling with laughter: Fans chuckled as Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean character drove around Goodwood

He then straps the armchair to the roof and drives home operating the car with a mop and some string.

Visitors to the Sussex racetrack were once again rolling with laughter as Mr Atkinson drove the distinctive pea green and black Mini Mr Bean-style around the circuit yesterday.

It was part of a huge parade of Minis to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the legendary British car.

It also marks the 20th anniversary of the creation of Mr Bean.
A well-known motoring enthusiast, Mr Atkinson has been a huge supporter of both the Revival and Festival of Speed over the years, and has been a regular participant.

Atkinson's performance was every bit as funny as his original show which ended in 1995

Atkinson controlled the Mini using just some rope attached to the wheel and a mop to prod the pedals

It's brilliant! He's one of the funniest comedians but to recreate that stunt is

I've talked to some people who have a real vendetta against Mr. Bean, like they seriously hate him. I don't get that, I know it's not particularly intelligent humour but that's the bloody point!

Mr. Bean was part of the core of my childhood television watching along with The Muppets, Star Trek TNG and pretending I couldn't sleep to go down and bother Dad while he was watching The Simpsons. The nostaligia rush he gives me is well worth the "OMG I can't believe you like Mr. Bean".

If people don't like him for Mr Bean because it's dumbed down I can't see why they wouldn't like him in Black Adder.

If you don't like his dumb stuff, he also has smart stand-up shows.
Rowan Atkinson is awesome and for everyone

Stop double posting Kez.


Mr Bean is actually intelligent, how many other comedians can you name who can make you laugh by actions alone? He never says a word, it demonstrates the power of body language and it's done wonderfully.

Not the Nine O'Clock News was funnier, and Blackadder, Mr Bean was disappointing for me by comparison.

Blackadder is my favourite of his by far. It has some very clever writing. The third series is my favourite.

But anyway, this stunt he did is fantastic. Not many people would do something similar .
