"Mr. Bean Goes to Town" is the fourth episode of the television series Mr. Bean, and features four sketches in which Mr. Bean tries to watch his new television, deals with a thief, tries to recover his shoe, and causes trouble in a night club. The episode was the first to feature the opening title sequence of Bean dropping on a street from a beam of light, that would be used in all later episodes and on DVD releases, as well as being the first to be produced and broadcast in stereo. It was directed by Paul Weiland and John Birkin and produced by Sue Vertue, with Vertue and Birkin collaborating on later episodes. The episode was watched by 14.42 million viewers during its original transmission on ITV on 15 October 1991, the day before Thames Television, which commissioned and presented the programme, learned it would lose its ITV broadcast franchise by the end of the following year.

Mr. Bean has bought a portable television, and after bringing it home and having to crawl out his car window, brings it up to his flat, whereupon he feeds his electricity meter a few coins to feed power to the wall. Upon getting the television out of the box and setting it on a stand, he realises he's looking at the rear of it. Bean slips its plug into a socket and wonders why it is not coming on, only to realise he forgot to wire the plug with the TV's power cable. Upon doing so by screwing the cable into the plug, the TV is soon turned on and the aerial plugged in, only for him to discover he gets no reception regardless of where he moves the aerial to. When he puts it on the ground, bends over and looks at it, the TV suddenly springs to life, only to go to static the moment Bean looks towards the TV screen. No matter what he does, he cannot get the TV to show programmes unless he is looking only at the aerial, with the TV screen not in his sights. Ingeniously he decides to take off all his clothes and assemble it on a chair to resemble himself, while using the TV's cardboard box to cover up, finally managing to get a clear picture on the TV. But just as he sits down to watch the programme, the electricity meter runs out and cuts off the power, much to his annoyance.
