Mr Bean: Secret Valentine for Irma, wordless comedy for a shared laugh
Library mishaps and beach capers stitched into Bean's usual silent slapstick, Valentine's themed.
A Valentine's-themed Mr Bean compilation, library mishaps and beach capers stitched into Bean's usual wordless slapstick. Blue-to-green scores a strong 85, good for lifting a flat afternoon, though yellow-to-green (70) and red-to-green (40) mean it's not built for winding down a wound-up mood or a meltdown. One mild note for younger viewers: a spot of slapstick conflict is flagged for ages 4 to 5.

Why it works
This one runs quicker than most Mr Bean compilations, shots cut every 3.8 seconds on average, so pacing scores a more moderate 65. There's no presenter as such, just Bean's usual visual comedy, with a gentle, moderate-energy tone and an annoyance score of just 1.
Regulation numbers lean toward lifting rather than calming: blue-to-green scores 85, useful for a flat, low-energy moment, while yellow-to-green (70) and red-to-green (40) suggest it isn't the tool for a wound-up mood or a meltdown in progress. Sensory intensity is moderate rather than low, with sudden sounds, repetitive sounds and bright colours all flagged, and a spot of mild slapstick conflict is noted for ages 4 to 5 specifically.
Entertainers score highest at 95 (ages 6 to 7), with Companions at 75 and Independents at 70, so it plays well both as a shared laugh and a solo watch for a slightly older child. It lands on a genuine natural endpoint with no cliffhanger, and educational value is low at 20, since the appeal here is pure wholesome comedy rather than any teaching.
When to reach for it
- Twenty minutes to cook dinner. 1,455 seconds with a natural endpoint and no cliffhanger, safe to leave running unsupervised.
- Flat afternoon pick-me-up. Blue-to-green scores 85, useful for lifting low energy without any particular calming claim.
- Shared family laugh. Companions score 75 at ages 6 to 7, so it works well watched together.

Questions parents ask
Is there anything to be cautious about for a younger child?
One thing: mild slapstick conflict is flagged specifically for ages 4 to 5. Sensory intensity is also moderate rather than low, with sudden sounds, repetitive sounds and bright colours all noted, so it's worth a first watch together for a younger or more sensitive child.
Will this calm my child down or wind them up?
Neither strongly, energy effect reads neutral. Blue-to-green scores 85, good for lifting a flat, bored mood, but yellow-to-green (70) and red-to-green (40) mean it isn't designed as a wind-down or meltdown-recovery tool, so keep it for daytime viewing rather than bedtime.
What age suits this best?
Entertainers peak at 95 for ages 6 to 7, with Companions at 75 and Independents at 70 at the same age. Educational value is low, just 20, since this is pure comedy rather than teaching content, and that's very much by design.
Is it safe for a child with additional needs?
Yes, it clears ASD-safe, PDA-safe, anxiety-safe and ADHD-friendly flags, and is even marked sensory-seeking suitable. Sensory intensity is moderate rather than low though, so it's worth checking the flagged sounds and colours first if your child is sensitive, particularly around ages 4 to 5.
