The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: In the sketch where Mr Bean drives to the dentist, there is a part where he starts to dress himself. If you look out of the window, the scenery keeps changing dramatically. In some shots he is driving along a single lane carriageway with buildings on the sides and in other shots he his driving along a dual carriageway with no buildings on the sides, all while he is getting dressed.

Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean is dressing in his car on the way to the dentist, just after he puts his shirt on the camera cuts to show him from the rear of the car. In this shot he has his dress pants on already, but he hadn't put them on yet and in subsequent shots they are gone again.

Continuity mistake: When Bean is putting his shoes on, out the window the scenery is going straight but in the overhead shot he is on a roundabout.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Deliberate mistake: When Bean is putting on his socks as he is driving, his foot presses the horn in the centre of the steering wheel. Except that the horn control is actually on the right-hand column stalk (you can see the horn symbol on it). This was most likely an added comical sound effect.

Continuity mistake: At the end of the driving to dentist scene, Bean gets out and his pajama bottoms are sticking out of his fly. Yet we previously saw him put the pajamas on the passenger seat.
The Trouble With Mr. Bean - S1-E8
Continuity mistake: When Mr. Bean is putting his shirt on, there is a shot from the back of the mini and he has his brown trousers on. From the front angle, he still has his pajamas on.
Visible crew/equipment: In the opening scene of the episode, Mr. Bean goes around various places of his mini to get keys. During these actions, the camera pans with him. The cameraman's reflection is seen a few times during the pans in windows and sides of cars. He is wearing a checkered shirt and a green jacket. (00:00:55 - 00:01:40)
Visible crew/equipment: When the ambulance comes to pick up the heart attack victim, as the camera pans across the back of the van to see Mr. Bean with the jumpstart cables, a boom mic can be seen in the door windows at the top, whilst the dolly tracks and the dolly rig and the track can be seen reflected in the bottom windows. (00:05:55)
Factual error: Bean is seen connecting a set of jump leads to two large brass-like electrodes in a lighting column. These would never be present in real life - especially with so much conductive material on show.
Revealing mistake: In the train scene when Mr. Bean plugs his ears with his socks you can see that he didn't use the ones he was actually wearing before. Once he took them off he placed them in front of him but reached slightly to his right for the ones he plugged in his ears. Also those where still flat like after ironing them and didn't look worn at all.
Revealing mistake: When the dog jumps up at the Postbox, it wobbles slightly, meaning that it's a prop and not a real Postbox.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Visible crew/equipment: After Mr. Bean chooses the ornament for his Christmas tree, he takes the gold ornament over to the counter and as the camera moves closer the shadow of the camera can be seen on the desk. (00:01:15)
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: After Mr. Bean's musical performance, there's a shot of people applauding him. There's a man at the right of the group. In the next scene that same man is seen buying the last two Christmas trees, right before Mr. Bean gets a chance to buy any. There's only five seconds between the scenes. The man couldn't have run to the Christmas tree salesman, talk to him, and pay him for the trees within those five seconds. (00:10:25)
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr Bean only removes four bangers from his Christmas crackers, but when he puts them all into a single big cracker, there are far more than four there.

Audio problem: When Mr Bean parks his Mini outside Harrods, the sound of the car door shutting can be heard before it actually closes.

Revealing mistake: When Mr. Bean gets his head stuck in the turkey looking for his watch it can be seen still on his wrist during a couple of scenes.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr. Bean puts Christmas cards in envelopes, then seals each envelope by licking each flap. Then he puts the envelopes through the mail slot in his door, pretending that someone else mailed them to him, which is funny. Then he opens each envelope just by unfolding the flap instead of tearing open the envelope, that means that each flap had not been sealed.
Suggested correction: There is only a few moments between Bean licking the envelopes and then posting them to himself. Obviously the glue on the envelopes hasn't dried yet.
If the envelope Mr. Bean had opened were actually the envelope he had licked, then some part of the glue would have stuck, even though there were only a few seconds between licking, mailing and opening, so we would have seen him have a little resistance from the envelope when he opened the envelope. Also, he licked only one envelope, but he mailed three envelopes, so presumably prior to him coming home in the episode, he had licked the other two envelopes. Because he licked one envelope, it is reasonable he would have licked the other two envelopes earlier.

Visible crew/equipment: When Irma asks Mr Bean if he has the turkey on, there is a shadow of the overhead mic on the wall.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Revealing mistake: The walls shake when Mr Bean slams the door on the carol singers.
Merry Christmas Mr. Bean - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: Mr Bean parks his mini outside Harrods. While he is parking the car there are no people on the pavement behind the Santa Claus, but as soon as Bean gets out of the car there are several people behind Santa.
