The Best Episodes Directed By John Howard Davies

Mr. Bean attends a mathematics exam, where he tries to copy from a student under the nose of the invigilator, when he realizes that he has studied the wrong maths equations. Afterwards, he surreptitiously changes into his swimming trunks so as not to be noticed by someone sitting nearby at a beach. And later struggles to stay awake during a church service and obnoxiously sings the refrain of the hymn "All Creatures of Our God and King," much to the annoyance of the man sitting next to him, Mr. Sprout.
