Rowan Atkinson held the UK record for the largest insurance claim for a single vehicle accident when he lost control of his Maclaren and parked it in a hedge. Luckily he walked away almost unscathed.
Odd and unfunny version of the more well known roll call sketch which he later did with all obscene student names. That’s on “Rowan Atkinson Live” from 1992.
Absolutely no detectable "northern accent" at all. He speaks like the Oxford graduate that he is. And if he HAD spoken in the regional accent of his home town, it would have been a Northeastern accent (Consett, County Durham, to be precise), a VERY different thing from a "northern accent," which means basically Yorkshire or Lancashire.
That last bit is literally the funniest thing I've seen in a very long time!!
It is nice to see how Rowan announced what he later embodied in Johnny English so many years later!
It's so cool that he's still doing comedy almost 40 years later.
The best 👍🥰🥰🥰
great interview!
That bloke next to Mike Carlton...he'll go places one day

if this was broadcast in 1983 when mr bean came out a decade later he still looked exactly the same...
Yeah I wasn't convinced this was 1983, but I guess it is.
He’s notably younger than the Mr Bean stuff, which was very late 80s, early 90s.
they just used your video on an australian morning new shows called Sunrise. i hope they asked you permission to use this!!
The Script Was Altered From The Secret Policeman's Ball Original which was Much Funnier
