Meet the Characters - Mr Bean

Mr Bean

Mr Bean has a unique way of approaching everyday problems in a rather round about way, which has made him a family favourite.

He's a lovable character who everyone would like to help out of his sticky situations. Being a man of few words, his humour is universally popular.

Teddy

Teddy is Mr Bean's life-long best friend.

Being inanimate, he is invaluable as a trusted co-conspirator, easy to beat at chess and doubles as a good dish cloth or paint brush in an emergency.

Mrs Wicket

Landlady, Mrs. Wicket, a blunderbuss of a woman with a voice like a concrete mixer, is the bane of Mr Bean's existence. She was married 50 years ago for a mere ten minutes before her husband wisely made a dash for freedom. If there is a glimmer of kindness lurking inside her Sherman tank of a body it is doled out begrudgingly on Scrapper, her one-eyed cat.

Irma Gobb

Irma Gobb is sort of Mr Bean's sort of girlfriend (sort of). A sweet girl, who probably has a sort of degree in something or other.

She's sort of fond of Mr Bean but mainly visits so that her teddy can play with Bean's teddy. She usually stays long enough to get a free meal.

Scrapper

Scrapper the one eyed cat hates all humans, especially Mr Bean, although he does feign affection for his tin opener: Mrs Wicket.

His hobbies include scratching, mousing and getting Bean into terrible trouble with Mrs Wicket at every opportunity.

Three Wheeler

"Three wheels doth not a true car make" might be Mr Bean's private maxim, and has taken an understandable dislike to a particular powder blue car and its mystery driver.

Though he doesn't go out of his way to seek confrontation with the car in question, he is quite happy to scourge Britain's roads of the offending vehicle as accidentally on purpose as possible.

Mr Bean's Car

Mr Bean loved lime-green small cars from the very first day he saw one at the age of ten. Expecting to receive one for Christmas he was inconsolably miffed when Santa fobbed him off with a Dinky version.

After fashioning various cars from egg boxes and wire coat hangers throughout his teens he finally managed to purchase his present car at an extortionate £57 (engine not included).
