Rowan Atkinson once more assumes the guise of the awesomely accident-prone Mr. Bean in this 30-minute comedy special. Bean's adventures in the world of academia are divided into four segments: In "Chemistry Class," our hero concocts a formula that has a colorful effect on his classmates; in "Art Class," Bean tries not to ogle a nude model; in "Karate Class," Bean demonstrates his newfound martial arts skills on his hapless teacher, not to mention a desperate trouser thief; and in the concluding sketch, "Car Trouble," Bean parks his inimitable mini-van in someone else's space. Originally telecast in Britain on October 26, 1994, Back to School, Mr. Bean was later made available in such video compilations as Unseen Bean and The Complete Mr. Bean, Vol. 1. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
