"Mr. Bean goes to town (The Television)"
This book tells about Mr. Bean has bought a portable
television, and after bringing it home and having to crawl out his car window,
brings it upstairs to his flat, whereupon he inserts a few coins into his electricity
meter to feed power to the wall. Upon unpacking the television out of the box
and setting it up on a stand, he realises he's looking at the rear of it. Bean
plugs it into a socket and wonders why it is not coming on, only to realise he
forgot to wire the plug with the TV's power cable. Upon doing so by screwing
the cable into the plug, the TV is soon turned on and the aerial
plugged in, only for him to discover he gets no reception; regardless of where
he moves the aerial to. When he puts it on the ground, bends over and looks at
it, the TV suddenly springs to life, only to go to static the moment Bean looks
towards the TV screen. No matter what he does, he cannot get the TV to work
unless he is looking only at the aerial, with the TV screen not in his sights.
Ingeniously, he decides to take off all his clothes and assemble it on a chair
to resemble himself, while using the TV's cardboard box to cover up, finally
managing to get a clear picture on the TV. But just as he sits down to watch
the programme, the electricity meter runs out and cuts off the power, much to
his annoyance.
