When I Was Doing Bean More Than

[georges] Simenon Could Be Very Brave Like That. You Never Quite Know What You're Going To Get Or How The Story's Going To Be Told.

When I Was Doing Bean More Than I’ve Done Him In The Last Few Years, I Did Strange Things - Like Appearing On Chat Shows In Character As Mr. Bean.

What Directors Of Television Drama Constantly Tell You Is 'don't Act It. Don't Try. Don't Emphasise That Word'. Whereas With Someone Like Blackadder, Even Though He's A Relatively Low Key Character In A Way, He Did Relish The Lines That He Had And The Words That He Was Given, With A Lot Of Inflection.
