The British Grenadiers

I just love Wikipedia!

This is the actual tune Rowan Atkinson was humming in the Mr. Bean Christmas episode -

The opening bars of Howard Goodall's theme to Blackadder Goes Forth also quote the piece.


During the episode 'Merry Christmas Mr.Bean', Mr.Bean hums the song whilst playing with Queen's Royal Guards figurines. This itself could be a reference to Blackadder's usage of it; Rowan Atkinson played both Blackadder and Mr Bean).
