How can A&E call this "The Whole Bean" when the episodes are all butchered down by about three minutes each? And what possible justification can they have for this? Surely there wasn't a problem getting the full versions from the BBC. Surely the extra minutes would have fit on these three discs. So why oh why did A&E screw up this long, long awaited Mr. Bean release? Incompetence is the only logical explanation. I'll wait until the BBC's own PAL discs show up on Amazon.co.uk and figure out how to play them then. A&E: Three jeers for this release; you've lost my faith in you.
