On Wednesday 3rd May at 15:30, an animated Mr Bean will play a game of charades with an audience of over 70 million live on Facebook.

The live stream will see Mr Bean take on the public at charades, as viewers play along. With appearances from animated series favourites such as Scrapper the cat, fans can enjoy half an hour of interactive fun and games.

This will be the first time ever audiences will have the chance to interact with the animated character in real time.

Earlier this year Mr Bean overtook The Simpsons to become the biggest broadcast entertainment brand on Facebook, with nearly 300 million monthly views.

Frances Adams, Global Director of Brands and Licensing for Endemol Shine Group said: “This is a tremendously exciting project and we can’t wait for the Mr Bean fans on Facebook to join in the fun for this innovative new experience. The Mr Bean brand is seeing phenomenal online growth which is testament to the bold and ambitious work of the wonderfully talented teams here at Endemol Shine Group.”

The live stream is in collaboration with Adobe using new capabalities of their Character Animator software.
