Is anyone watching Man vs Bee on Netflix at the moment ( currently available in the UK , not sure about elsewhere in the world)
It is a short series starring Rowan Atkinson in a Mr Bean-type-role about the (mis)adventures of a house sitter.
It is very funny - 
Yes, Colin - started it last night!!
I do hope that my non sitter friends donât think that we sleep next to the washing machine.
Canât wait to see what happens next!!
Coincidentally, a Swiss friend mentioned this series to me yesterday evening. I thought it was an old Rowen Atkinson show until I saw that âMan Vs. Beeâ is currently trending in Netflixâs top ten in Switzerland.
We just finished watching the first episode and are very thankful that it doesnât resemble any of our previous sits (knock on wood for future sits!).
My quick takeaway is that itâs always important to have at least two copies of the all-important âWelcome Guideâ! 
My two recognisable moments were his reaction at the moment he first saw the particularly fantastic home and when the home owner pointed to the row of remotes to work the TV - Our record so far is 5!
I was watching Man vs. Bee a TV show by Rowan Atkinson and just googled âhouse sitterâ. Now I am here. Amazing.

Yeah the power of a housesitting lifestyle ⊠We have a new member Welcome @André
Now for some sound advice from our content team âŠ
To avoid court-side flashbacks of your questionable house sitting gallivants (such as the boom of âGUILTY!â and the juryâs rejoices), weâre going to explore what NOT to do while house sitting.
If that all sounds a little⊠different to you, all the advice here is inspired by the infamous house sitter, Trevor Bingley, who has recently graced our Netflix screens in Man Vs. Bee.
So, watch the show for Rowan Atkinson-fuelled slapstick fun and games and sit back and (try to) relax into this mad but equally true advice on how not to act during your next house sitâŠ
Also the many remotesâŠhahaâŠoverwhelming! And wow, everything is in the manual.
I was just looking at this last night and wondering if itâs good. Thanks for the suggestion!
@Colin We just finished watching it⊠brilliant!!
Hi @Colin While I donât have Netflix to be able to watch Man Vs Bee, I did see the trailer. I would love to have one of those jackets that Rowan Atkinsonâs character is wearing and have âTrustedHousesittersâ placed on itâŠhow neat would that be?
Iâve just watched it with my kids - hilarious!
Iâve just watched it all the way through and am really hoping owners donât get put off! 
It reminds me of so many times when Iâve had a fly in my bedroom that I canât get rid ofâŠ.
As for the house and mod cons, Iâve been 3 times to a housesit where you wave your hand above a small switch that flushes the toilet. It doesnât always work first time and this last time I hardly got it to work, so used the ownersâ other loo which had a regular flush!
OMG I am watching this now and laughing whilst at the same feeling so much anxiety
I have stayed in the rainbow shower room though 
So good.
