I found the Australian version of this video in a charity shop earlier this week for the bargain price of 10p. Its got different packaging and its released by Polygram Video(although there is a Thames Video logo on the cover).

ISTR those videos often being in background shots in episodes of Neighbours during the mid-90's, I was quite mesmerised as a kid seeing a Mr Bean vid in a non-UK programme.

Thats interesting to hear.

Do you have an episode number for where I can see one of these videos appearing?

[steviegTVreturns]

I really couldn't tell you, but it was something that stuck out in my mind when I was a kid, I would say at a random guess probably about 1995/6, but as I said it's going sometime back.

Thanks for your help.

The Mr Bean videos appear to be quite easy to find. I've found 4 of them in the space of a week. Am I right in thinking there are 7 in total? I've got the red, blue, purple and yellow ones.

[steviegTVreturns]

Excluding the 'The Best bits', there were 7:

Red, Blue, Green, Purple, Yellow, Unseen and Final Frolics, but IIRC they were rereleased in about 1998 onto 2 VHS relases which were The Collection, I didn't buy those (well why bother..?) but I bought the Vol 1-5 R2 DVD collection, which appear to have been rereleased when I last went in HMV!

Thanks for your help.

So judging by that list I've got 3 to get. The Green One, Final Frolics and Unsean Bean(again).

I've got those two videos with the entire series that were released in 1997. That was one of the reasons as to why I got rid of my copy of Unsean Bean,

Also had the english version of "Best Bits" up until fairly recently. Can't remember when or why I got rid of it

I'll get those DVDs when I can find them for a resonable amount.

I definatley had it up until about a year ago. Also used to have Unseen Bean but I didn't really like that video. I didn't like that bit at the end of Back To School Mr Bean.

[steviegTVreturns]

When I first saw BTS Mr Bean I didn't like it either, i was only about 6 or 7, I only got the Unseen video for the unseen episode, which was "exclusive" to video, then DVD. But since then that episode has been shown on Comedy Central and Nick.

I remember vividly when first watching Back to School Mr. Bean, i used to bawl my eyes out when his car got crushed at the end lol.

My friend had this, i remember we watched it when he first got it in his gran's house in 1996, oh great times. The promo at the start brings it back now, 'Lost your ticket..' I remember we always used to repeat those parts lol. Thanks for uploading.
