I think because Mr. Bean was live-action as opposed to animated it was thought that kids were more likely to copy situations that looked real, hence the edits.

That rating needs looked at because a lot of parts of Mr. Bean are not suitable for kids.

I seem to recall one episode had a scene where Mr Bean had just got into bed and realised the only light switch was by the door. Instead of getting out of bed to switch the light out he opts to get out a gun and shot the light bulb.

I've no idea if that scene/episode has been shown since its original airing. I wouldn't be surprised if at least that part of the scene would have got edited out of any repeats since the 90s.
