Once again, the magnificently maladroit and fabulously foolish Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) bumbles his way through a collection of brief comic sketches. In "Television," Bean purchases his first TV, only to experience a spot of reception trouble. In "The Park," our hero tries out his new Polaroid camera, which is promptly stolen. This leads to "Identity Parade," wherein Bean does his best to identity the camera thief. In "Club Phut," Bean's night on the town spells disaster for a stage magician. And in "The Disco," Mr. Bean shows off his dancing skills -- we think. Originally telecast in Britain on October 15, 1991, the 30-minute comedy special Mr. Bean Goes to Town later aired in America on April 23, 1992, then was included in such video compilations as The Exciting Escapades of Mr. Bean and The Complete Mr. Bean, Vol. 2. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Season 25 of Doctor Who got under way on October 5, 1988, with episode one of the four-part "Remembrance of the Daleks." Accompanied by his new friend, Ace (Sophie Aldred), the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) shows up in 1963 London in search of something he inadvertently left behind during his last visit. That "something" is a remote stellar manipulator -- desperately needed by two warring Dalek factions. "Remembrance of the Daleks, Episode 1" was written by Ben Aaronovitch. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In the third episode of the four-part story "Remembrance of the Daleks," the Doctor (Sylvester McCoy) tries to prevent a civil war between two Dalek factions in 1963 London. To that end, he reprograms the Hand of Ortega, a remote interstellar device, intending to hand it over to the "right" Dalek faction. This action would seem to suggest that the Doctor has taken leave of his senses: Why surrender a device capable of destroying not only both Dalek armies, but also all of Mankind? First telecast October 19, 1988, "Remembrance of the Daleks, Episode 3" was written by Ben Aaronovitch. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
