List of episodes

"Goodnight Mr. Bean" is the thirteenth episode of the British television series Mr. Bean, produced by Tiger Aspect Productions and Thames Television for Central Independent Television. It was first broadcast on ITV on Tuesday, 31 October 1995.^[1]^[2]

Plot

Part One

Mr. Bean visits the hospital after getting his hand stuck in a teapot. He obstructs an ambulance by parking his car poorly, cheats in the queue, and rudely takes a chair from an old man. While waiting, he annoys an injured patient beside him and is laughed at when he accidentally reveals his stuck hand while checking the time. Frustrated by the long wait, Bean swaps his ticket for a lower number and tries to manipulate the digital counter, but is thwarted by another patient. After falling asleep, he loses his ticket and has to get a new one. Annoyed by his high number ticket, he throws it in the bin but gets his other hand stuck, leading him to use his mouth to retrieve another ticket as he walks away with his hand still trapped.

Part Two

Bean visits Windsor Castle and takes several photographs. Upon seeing a Queen's Guard, he decorates the guard with flowers, trims his moustache, and hangs Teddy off his bayonet. The guard attempts to remain motionless, which proves difficult, especially when Bean starts to clean the trigger of his rifle. Just as Bean sets the self timer for a photo, the guard marches away, much to Bean's frustration.

That night, Bean prepares for bed but struggles to fall asleep. He tries various methods, like scaring cats away by pretending to be a dog, sleeping in different positions, and watching a chess game. Just as he starts to doze off, a loud advertisement wakes him up. Frustrated, he begins counting sheep in a picture and later uses a calculator. The sight of the number on the calculator finally puts him to sleep.
