Recap To The Week: Mr. Bean: The Animated Series Makes A Dash To Play Room

Based on the popular British skit comedy "Mr. Bean", this animated cartoon follows the adventures of everyone's favourite bumbler. The title character, voiced by Rowan Atkinson, lives in his flat with the lovable Teddy, where he makes moronic decisions yet brilliantly solves them. However, he also needs to outwit his evil landlady Mrs. Wicket and her horrible one-eyed cat Scrapper.

The fourth season to Mr. Bean is currently broadcast on Cartoonito and now the first season is being allocated on Play Room weeknights at 19:10.

The mind numbing questions I get from readers is why Play Room is becoming a repeat slope for shows viewed on Cartoon Network and Cartoonito. There was Batwheels, Teen Titans GO!, Steven Universe, Supa Strikas and now Mr. Bean: The Animated Series.

eToonz despite not being a 24 hour channel or a pay-tv broadcaster has plenty of content not accessible on other DStv channels. You would assume a channel carried and paid for exclusively by MultiChoice would sought out an alternative offering like Sonic Boom.

With all these repeats, Play Room is more redundant than ever it would be a matter of consumer preference at this point. At this point, Mr. Bean would only benefit Access consumers as Cartoonito doesn't form part of the package.
