    I've never enjoyed the opening ceremony of any event, however this really has been excellent........... The Mr. Bean was comical

    Mr Bean is the most exported TV show ever. I guess as it is mostly silent. It's the one bit of this that the international audience will absolutely get

    I couldn't believe when my eastern European mates started talking about it one time. He's huge in India as well.

    An awful lot of in-references in this show. I wonder how this will be received internationally? If you weren't exposed to british culture daily, this might be hard to get.

    Great soundtrack, has to be said.
