Mr Bean is one of the most iconic TV shows on the planet.
Rowan Atkinson wowed and delighted audiences all over the world with his quirky and odd character as he went on random adventures of the benign.
If you've ever wanted to binge through the whole series on a sick day or when the weather is poor then you might finish it quicker than you think.

The show ran for six years from 1990 to 1995 and only had 15 episodes in total.
While you'd initially think there were loads of moments to soak up, there's only around six and a half hours to watch.
You wouldn't even finish the first season of Game of Thrones before completing every episode that exists of Mr Bean.

People can't wrap their heads around how such a brilliant show only had that much material over that time frame.
"The reason we think it has dozens of episodes is that each episode had 3 different stories in it, so it was like getting three episodes for every episode," said one fan.
Another added: "And every single episode can be understood by anyone on earth without knowing english or even any language at all."
A third wrote: "I love Mr. Bean. Me and my grandfather used to watch it all the time. He didn’t speak English and it was a great show we could both laugh and enjoy."

There are plenty of memories to soak up though. Whether he's stuffing a Christmas turkey, steering his Mini through the streets on an armchair on the roof, or trying to get his swimmers on at the beach, Atkinson was the master of non-verbal comedy.
The character of Mr Bean has been carried through the ages in the form of an animated TV series, movies, books and even an appearance at the 2012 London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony.
But Mr Bean isn't the only legendary series that had a famously short run on the telly.

John Cleese's Fawlty Towers only had 12 instalments over four years.
The UK version of The Office produced 14 episodes over two and a half years.
By comparison, the American version had a whopping 201 episodes across nine seasons that spanned from 2005 to 2013.
So there you have it, three examples of why sometimes quality is better than quantity.
