Mr. Bean in Handy Bean season 1 episode 6, titled Pumpkin Time!, follows the hilarious antics of the beloved character Mr. Bean as he plans a surprise for his girlfriend, Irma Gobb. With Halloween quickly approaching, Mr. Bean decides to carve a pumpkin in the shape of his face but quickly realizes his lack of experience with pumpkin carving.
Mr. Bean sets out to buy a pumpkin and heads to the local market where he becomes a little too enthusiastic and ends up picking a large pumpkin far too heavy for him to carry. Approaching home, Mr. Bean spots a group of children having fun carving pumpkins of their own. Excited to join in the festive activities, he offers to exchange his oversized pumpkin for a smaller one. However, things take a hilarious turn when filling the car with pumpkins, the weight of them causes his car to flip upside-down.
With the smaller pumpkin now in his possession, Mr. Bean gets down to carving his masterpiece. However, his lack of artistic expertise leads to the pumpkin resembling anything other than his intended design. To make matters worse, while trying to finish the carving, Mr. Bean accidentally slices off the end of his finger. In a panic, he rushes to the hospital where he meets a doctor who is equally unsteady on their feet.
With his finger bandaged and the pumpkin carving far from perfect, Mr. Bean returns home to find his new pumpkin creation has dramatically shriveled up on his doorstep. In a bid to stem the embarrassment of a failed surprise for Irma, Mr. Bean enlists the help of his teddy bear, leading to more hilarious antics, including teddy being mistaken for a criminal.
As Halloween approaches, Mr. Bean's final surprise for Irma is nothing short of genius and sure to bring a smile to everyone’s faces. A pumpkin-themed evening awaits them both with a meal full of delicious pumpkin dishes and an array of jack-o-lanterns for decoration. The grand finale sees Mr. Bean recreate a scene from a horror film, leading to yet another hilarious twist and a memorable Halloween.
