"Mr. Bean Rides Again" is the sixth episode of the television series Mr. Bean, and consists of two small stories, the first consisting of two sketches, the second consisting of three. It was the last episode to credit both John Birkin and Paul Weiland as directors, as the former was later credited for all videotape scenes and the latter credited for all film scenes, while it was also the last to feature the episode title in the opening credits, as later episodes would display the episode's title after this on the first scene. In addition, later episodes after this would only credit Robin Driscoll and Rowan Atkinson as co-writers of the programme. The episode was originally aired on ITV on 17 February 1992.
Mr. Bean has a letter he wants to post, but upon unlocking his car through finding a number of keys hidden within it, he finds that the battery is dead, and so decides to take the bus. A few moments upon reaching the bus stop, a man waiting there suddenly has a heart attack, causing Bean to panic. Seeking to help revive him, he attempts to pump air into his chest with his foot, tries mouth-to-mouth resuscitation using the man's magazine as a funnel, and then pours several of the man's pills down his throat, but these methods don't work. He eventually uses electric shock treatment by borrowing some jump leads and connecting them to a nearby lamppost. Although this initially works, Bean forgets to remove the jump leads from his hands when the man offers a handshake, thereby electrocuting him and causing him to pass out. Fleeing the scene, Bean watches as an ambulance arrives, and decides to use its battery to jumpstart the Mini. He soon leaves quickly once the paramedics have the man onboard, leaving them to find their ambulance is now disabled thanks to having a drained battery.
