Criminal Doppelgänger: Mr. Bean was mistaken for an escaped convict. The two ended up switching places for a short time, and the convict decided to break back into his jail cell after he couldn't stand Bean's landlady.
Fellow prisoners seen when Mr. Bean is accidentally sent to jail include Hannibal Lecter and Steve McQueen's character from The Great Escape.
In the episode "Royal Bean", among the paintings seen on the walls inside Buckingham Palace, is an immediately identifiable portrait of Lord Blackadder from Blackadder II (and just to help underline the reference for the audience, the portrait is seen hanging right next to a portrait of Elizabeth the First).
