Mr Bean animated dvd

Can anyone help?

My daughter absolutely loves the animated version of Mr Bean but I can't find a dvd or video of it anywhere. Have searched the usual places - amazon, cdwow, play.com, hmv etc - amazon have a few but they're all region 1 (unfortunately my dvd player only plays region 2)

Can anyone suggest anywhere else? I'm not keen on using e-bay.

  • Don't know if these are any good to you, I know you said not keen on ebay but if you're desperate, as a last resort..

    Thanks for that

    I have been looking on e-bay as a last resort and I might put a bid in on one of the single dvds. There's 4 days left so I'll keep looking.

    The one with the 2 discs looks good value but they want £6.99 postage and although it says based in UK when you look at the member profile they're actually in Singapore. There's a few sellers with different id's selling these products - all based in Singapore. That's what makes me wary.
  • Why dont you just tape it off the t.v, its on alot on the kids channels, my kids also love it, I've seen them all over & over & over again !! ;D ;D ;D

    It's an Alba DVD55. I've tried to find a hack but with no luck.

    Re taping it off the telly - my video is broken. Only plays back but doesn't record.

    Thanks
  • hi, just done a search and apparently if you load a region 1 dvd as normal but hold down the number 1 on the remote it will work.

    i wouldnt purchase any on this basis, have you got any region 1 discs you can try it on?

    just searched further and wouldnt bother with this one, the disc will play but there will be a "wrong region" message on screen and some remote commands wont work.

    no problem, would probably work out cheaper if you got a new multi region dvd player ;D
