S1 E1
S1E1, "Mr. Bean": Bean causes chaos during an exam, at the beach, and in other ordinary places in his clumsy, funny way. Silly, gentle, and fun. Good for learners because it is easy to follow without strong English, helping you read situations and reactions, with only small bits of simple, everyday speech.
