In the show, he plays a selfish, sometimes ingenious buffoon who frequently gets into hilarious situations due to his various schemes and contrivances.
The humor of the show is very physical (as opposed to verbal), and the main character speaks very little, if at all during most shows.
Mr. Bean is the star of the show, and doesn't share the spotlight with anyone else. Other characters exist simply to provide victims for his various antics, and besides the star, there are is only one recurring character, his sometimes "girlfriend" Irma Gobb.
A movie, Bean, was made based on the show in 1997, but this broke with the show's tradition by having a subplot with more developed characters. Instead of being the sole show, Mr. Bean now played second fiddle to the travails of a typical suburban, American family.
The character was revived again in the 2002 animated series, Mr Bean.
