Monica (Courteney Cox) is also shown wearing the turkey head later in the episode. “When we made the Bean movie in 1996 we decided to plagiarise ourselves and use the turkey on the head joke again,” Atkinson said, adding: "Also shooting in the 1990s was Friends – and they stole the joke.” Atkinson said that, due to reusing the joke for Mr Bean’s big screen adventure, many people then assumed it was the opposite way around and that he had stolen the joke from Friends.
