What's the source for the ending date? Most places (and what I've always believed) say the last broadcast episode was Goodnight Mr Bean in October 1995. Hair by Mr Bean of London was (originally) a video-only episode, was it not, so where's the 15th November date come from? BillyH00:12, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Good point, the "Hair by..." episode was a video exclusive; the article always used to have the earlier date of "Goodnight". I can only assume the November date was the video release that people have got confused by. Please feel free to change it. Bobtalk17:25, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Editors don't always get the gag...
"Although Teddy is inanimate, Mr. Bean often pretends it is alive"
The gag may be on the audience... the show never discusses whether or not Teddy is actually sentient as Mr. Bean appears to believe or not... I believe that's part of the joke, i.e. the jokes on us... we're not supposed to know... and we don't. Is Teddy really alive? He could be. Then again, he could be just a stuffed animal. We never see Teddy move onscreen, but that doesn't necessarily qualify Teddy as "Inanimate" per se. It certainly does seem to the audience that Mr. Bean is only "pretending" that Teddy is alive. However, as I said, the joke could be on us. 107.147.68.11 (talk) 05:10, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I guess I should have made my suggestion more clear. Because the plausibility of sentience of Teddy is totally ambiguous in the Live Action episodes, (I'm don't know about the cartoon, and I'm not comparing that character of Mr. Bean to this Mr. Bean.) I am proposing that the article somehow relates the concept of that ambiguity. I apologize for not stating that more directly.
By "ambiguous" in this sense I am using this definition: "unclear or inexact because a choice between alternatives has not been made." 107.147.68.11 (talk) 14:15, 29 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
