His twitter, youtube/instagram videos/skits, and his podcast are worth taking a look at.  The dude is hilarious and he puts out twice as much content as anyone else doing it nowadays.

I've watched each and every Mr. Bean episode many times over, and still find them hilarious.

Thanks man, I just spent the last 3 hours watching Bean clips.  The bit with him in church has always been one of the funniest skits of all time to me.

I've often wondered what he'd be like, doing a few episodes of Mr. Bean at the age of 66.

I think his age would have a negative effect on his character to some degree.

I'd say those who've watched the original Mr. Bean (myself Included), would compare the "then and now" and perhaps be somewhat disappointed with his performance.

Atkinson is well-known to be a perfectionist and one of his own biggest critis. So, I don't think we'd ever see a performance he wasn't happy with at least. Then again.. Perhaps that's why we haven't seen more Mr Bean! lol

I used to love rewatching his stand up, and his achmed scenes. I didn't mind peanut too much either.
