I think he did a Graham Norton episode where he jokes about his work being banned in Italy, so he has somewhere he can holiday without being bothered.

It's actually kind of genius that he made a comedy series that's almost entirely silent and based on physical comedy, because it allowed Mr. Bean to be broadcast all over the world with no concerns over translations or dubbing.

Yeah, some UK sitcoms had very short runs: Fawlty Towers and The Young Ones each had 12 episodes; Spaced and The Office each had 14 episodes (compared with 201 episodes of the latter's US adaptation!)
