Comedian Rowan Atkinson appeared on The One Show last night - Wednesday, June 22 - but laughter turned to anger after the interview as viewers slated BBC presenters Angela Scanlon and Jermaine Jenas for their interviewing technique.
The Blackadder and Mr Bean star was promoting Man Vs Bee. a new Netflix comedy which is due to air on Friday, June 24. In true Atkinson style, the show centres around a bumbling character, Trevor. Show makers describe the storyline as having a dad at the heart of the programme who is trying to "get the best of a cunning bee while house-sitting a posh mansion — but only unleashes more chaos in this comedy series".
The nine-part series is formed of 10-minute episodes, making it perfect for "binge-watching", Atkinson said. He said: "It's largely visual because it's just Trevor in a house with a bee – and the bee doesn't talk," he said. "I liked playing him because he's genuinely sweet, a genuinely good-natured man."
