Do Bears...? Kate Bush and Rowan Atkinson? Surely not?
Thanks to Alex for mentioning this little gem. I went to YouTube, made a search, and voila, it was there! It seems YouTube is becoming a medium not only for "broadcasting yourself", but for sharing hidden cultural nuggets which one might otherwise never find or even become aware of.

I haven't seen that since the original broadcast of Comic Relief. I do somewhere have a recording of the Radio 1 simucast. I think, though, it is back in the UK.
Next you'll be finding the old Cadburys Flake commercial on You Tube. I love the overflowing bathtub one.
Oh dear, I thought you were pointing to this: http://youtube.com/watch?v=G4t03uBWYCw&mode=related&search=

Gandalfe,
That's fantastic.
I think I'll hijack this thread and ask the question
Atkinson was at his best in
a) Not the Nine O'Clock News (who can forget Hedgehog sandwich and the Abba spoof "Super Duper").
b) Bean (How can anyone get stuck inside the Christmas Turkey?)
c) Thin Blue Line
d) Blackadder (Mrs Miggins if we were the last three people on this Earth I'd be trying to start a family with Baldrick)
e) In the movies (Hot Shots Part Deux, Four Weddings and a Funeral, The Tall Guy, Never Say Never Again, Johnny English).
f) Stand up, especially with the long suffering Angus Deyton ("Tragic, yes it would be if it were true, ..., I wouldn't close school to bury that little...")
That would be A (who could forget him as the chef serving Pizza Napolitana with extra "mozzarella") and B (Mr. Bean is a legend).
If I had to pick only one it would be Bean. High comedy as Eo would say. ;-) The TV series is being aired in continuous reruns here. I watch every time.
He's great in the movies too.
I never cared much for Mr. Bean. I liked Black Adder better, particularly the later series.
D - In particular Blackadder Goes Forth and Christmas Carrol (But then I like Jim Broadbent and Robbie Coltrane too, so this special is special).
F - Especially anything where he's a priest, vicar or bishop. And of course "Fatal Beating", and the occasional Bean like moments, for example, walking down the street and seeing a TV camera starts to wave, then WHAM, street lamp...
D - Blackadder. Especially the third one. Definitely not Blackadder Goes Forth, which although better than the first series was really a step down.
