List of Mr. Bean Episodes - Episodes - Mind The Baby, Mr. Bean

Act 1: Bean goes to a funfair at Southsea, Portsmouth, but accidentally leaves his Mini's boot unlocked, and the handle pulls a baby's pram with it to the funfair. Once Bean notices the "kidnapped" baby, he sees no choice but to look after it while enjoying himself.

Act 2: After a series of misfortunes involving a dodgem, a large dog and the baby's pram, Mr. Bean decides to go off on his own, leaving the baby in a Postman Pat kiddie ride with nine coins in it while he gets bored on a roller coaster, shoots an arrow at a stall tender and attempts to cheat in a games arcade. (When he does win, a young boy steals his prize). Meanwhile, a huge queue builds up the Postman Pat ride . Eventually he is forced by a disgruntled mother who curses at him to retrieve the baby when he comes to put more coins in the ride.

Act 3: Bean then notices that there is a stink coming from the baby. He realises that its nappy needs changing, and manages to remove it near the entrance to a ride. Unable to find any fresh nappies, he rips open a girl's teddy bear and uses that as a makeshift nappy. Unfortunately the dirty nappy takes a haphazard journey across the amusement park, landing in the faces of several people along the way, eventually ending its journey when it lands on a young man's candy apple (toffee apple). While trying to play with the baby, the large dog (from Act 2) appears again. Bean manages to get rid of it by baiting it with a squeaky toy and locking it in a ticketing booth at which point a man approaches it looking to buy tickets for a ride and is quite startled when the dog barks at him.

Act 4: Later, after winning a goldfish at a game booth, Mr Bean is forced to keep the fish in his mouth after splitting the bag. However, he accidentally swallows it after winning at Bingo then subsequently splutters it across the room into a bowl with another goldfish.

Act 5: After the bingo game, he cannot stop the child from crying and decides to buy a huge bunch of helium-filled balloons to cheer it up. However, the balloons lift the baby and pram into the air. Bean is forced to use his archery skills and manages to burst just the right number of balloons with one shot. This results in the pram making a soft landing beside the baby's mother, who is overjoyed to get her baby back, although confused by the teddy bear nappy that Bean had put on it earlier. Meanwhile, Bean drives off in his Mini—which, unknown to him, is also carrying the large dog, having escaped from the building.

• The entire episode is filmed on location at Clarence Pier, Southsea, Portsmouth.
• The original transmission of this episode was delayed for a couple of months, as it was considered to be inappropriate to transmit due to the recent disappearance of James Bulger.
• Despite being shown on ITV like all episodes, the original transmission of this episode did not include an advertisement break. It also did not include acts.
• A clip of the scene where Mr. Bean puts the balloons on the pram was shown to illustrate the expected result of a myth in MythBusters; the myth that a large number of balloons could lift a small child into the sky. It was proven to be plausible, although an unpractically large number of balloons were needed.
• Although the situation in the relevant scene is that the nappy is dirty/soiled, when Mr. Bean removes it, it actually seems clean and likewise when the 'dirty' nappy goes into the people's faces it also seems clean and not soiled.
• The part where Mr. Bean saves the baby from drifting off into the sky is a possible inspiration for the Mr. Bean animated series episode "Car Trouble" where Mr. Bean brings a little boy down from the sky back to earth.
• The songs played at the dodgems is Mud's 1974 UK No. 1 hit Tiger Feet, and Johnny Kidd & the Pirates' 1960 hit Shakin' All Over is played on the waltzers.
• One of only two episodes since Teddy's introduction in The Trouble with Mr. Bean where Teddy did not appear at all in the episode (the other being Back to School, Mr. Bean).
