Which composer wrote the music for the Mr. Bean animated television series?

Howard Goodall wrote the music for the Mr. Bean animated television series.

Goodall is an English composer known for work in television, choral music, and musical theatre. His association with Mr. Bean extends beyond the animated program: he also composed the memorable choral theme used in the original live-action series. The music gives the character a mock-grand presentation, contrasting with Bean’s ordinary errands and childish mishaps.

The animated series began in 2002 and transferred the character’s visual comedy into cartoons. Rowan Atkinson continued to provide Bean’s voice, while animation allowed the production to stage larger physical gags and more elaborate situations. Goodall’s music helped retain a recognizable connection with the original program.

This fact is sometimes confused with the performers who voiced or played characters. Atkinson is the central performer associated with Bean, but Goodall is the composer associated with the series’ musical identity. The composer’s name is therefore the relevant answer when the question concerns the music rather than the acting.
