How Mr.Bean had been Started:

In 1987, one among Bean’s earliest appearances occurred at the comedy festival in Canada. When programmer and coordinators were scheduling him into the festival program, Rowan Atkinson insisted that he perform on the French-speaking bill rather than the English-speaking program. Having no French dialogue in his act at all, programmer, coordinators could not understand why Atkinson wanted to perform on the French bill instead. As it dressed, Atkinson’s act at the festival was a test platform for his character and he wanted to ascertain how his character’s physical comedy would fare on an international stage with a non-English speaking audience.

The character’s name wasn’t decided until after the first episode had been produced; variety of other vegetable-influenced names such as “Mr. Cauliflower” was explored. Artistically, Mr. Bean is also similar to early silent films, relying purely upon physical humor with Mr. Bean speaking very little dialogue (although like other live-action sitcoms during this era, it featured a comedy track). This has allowed the series to be sold worldwide beyond any significant changes to dialogue.
