But I just admire his courage and his bravery. I admire Sacha Baron Cohen, but he's not really a visual comedian. Indeed there are lots of people whom I do admire. But I mean, in terms of visual comedy, I'm not aware you know, stand up is still the big and dominant comedy concept, and that is rarely visual, or at least not predominantly visual. I tend to be in my own world, and I tend not to look sideways or backwards or forwards. I'm someone who doesn't take – and this isn't a good thing, I have to apologise and admit that I don't take a tremendous amount of interest in the comedy world. ![]() No, I'm not sort of knowledgeable, unfortunately. It’s also Trevor’s first day on the job and a bee enters the home just as he does, making his life hell for the next forty-eight hours."I like people who are brave, stick their necks out and go for things that others dare not go for" With your legacy in mind, is there a comedian you have your eye that you feel you could potentially pass that baton on to? The house contains voice lock mechanisms, motion sensors to open storage areas, expensive paintings, rare manuscripts and a vintage Jaguar among other cars. It captures a house sitter Trevor Bingley (Atkinson) house sitting for a wealthy couple in their ultramodern, expensive and interconnected home. MR BEAN ROWAN ATKINSON SERIESDirected by David Kerr the series is divided into nine 12-15 minutes short chapters. Rowan Atkinson and William Davies reunite for the comedy series Man vs Bee, now streaming on Netflix. He can dispatch the devils all by himself. Just when we think the series is gearing towards sentimentality by making an unlikely comparison it takes the liberty to whack our heads and reconsider our position. At one point we are made to feel sorry for the bee when Bingley reads something on the internet about the male bee and how it is booted out of its community once its part is done. It’s like a crude awakening to how we have electronics to control and secure everything and yet a human being working for minimum wage is required to guard it while the posh couple is away. MR BEAN ROWAN ATKINSON HOW TOA cupboard can be opened with a wave of the hand, Bingley has a tough time figuring out how to get water out of a tap and the bathroom shower and the piano can play itself. He is a blue-collar worker, a member of the working class finding himself in a corner both personally and professionally and the corner he could find was Nina and Christian’s plush home that stands like a testimony to the internet of things. There are no great statements made but it’s not lost on anyone that Bingley arrives wearing the blue jacket of the company he just joined. We get throwaway moments of Bingley with his daughter as he juggles his life, the bee, a dog and all the valuables inside.Īs silly as the premise is and as simplistic the humour can be, it is due to Rowan Atkinson’s conviction and trust in the material that Man vs Bee remains funny and watchable. We are the surveillance cameras in this modern home, looking at and judging Bingley’s actions while also learning about him and the people living in the house even if they are holidaying and therefore not on screen. It’s more a book than a series of instructions, the size bigger than most famous novellas and predictably is burnt to ashes in the first couple of hours Bingley spends at the house. MR BEAN ROWAN ATKINSON MANUALThe house has a manual of instructions with details on how to operate-yes living in the house is active work. Christian and Nina are sceptical about the odd seeming Bingley but give him a 2-minute lowdown on the idiosyncrasies of the house and their dog-Cupcake-with a nut allergy. ![]() The bee stings Bingley where it hurts the most. There is everything one would associate with Atkinson here-physical comedy, scatological humour, slapstick as well as some moments worth pondering about. The series plays out much like situations Mr Bean would find himself in, but Bingley goes for the more intelligent if desperate options and doesn’t mind coming across as vain. Recently divorced and looking forward to a modest camping holiday with his teenage daughter, it’s a job all-important for him. While Bean is played in a tone suited for children and can come across as either a lovable or despicable fool in most situations, Bingley is more a man of circumstance. The character of Trevor Bingley might remind us of Atkinson’s more famous Mr Bean persona, even the name feels like an extension. ![]()
