Laura Jackson has carried out exclusive interviews with Bean's closest friends and family. She turns the spotlight on this remarkably grounded actor and explores his chauvinistic Northern roots, his passion for football and his turbulent love life.
Jackson also examines the unique balancing act he performs between the large and small screen. From his springboard of the phenomenally successful TV series Sharpe, he has starred in movies such as GoldenEye, Patriot Games and Ronin.
