MR BEAN'S DEFINITIVE AND EXTREMELY MARVELLOUS GUIDE TO FRANCE
Robin Driscoll and Tony Haase
Integrated hbk 297x210mm 96pp £12.99
March 2007
England is wet, and Mr Bean is fed up. He consults his 'Bean's Rain
Gauge Device', writes to the Queen
to let her know he won't be available to chat for a few days,
indulges in a few fantasy drawings of
himself as a tanned man in swimwear, and sets off for the south of
France. In the film, Mr Bean has a
new video camera (although he had intended to buy a kettle) on which he
records every detail of his
journey, culminating in an unscheduled screening of his own video at
the Cannes Film Festival.</q>

The philosophical problem is: how could Bean record, on video, the
screening of the same video at the Film Festival? Isn't that a
metaphysical impossbility?

It's the same paradox as I remember from the Spice Girls movie; which
ended with the screenwriters selling the idea of the movie, and the end
credits running over the beginning of filming.
