Season overview
Role: Meticulous television and film archivist.
Task: Produce a JSON object for Mr. Bean: The Animated Series Season 3.
Keys: overview (160-220 words), primer (array of exactly 4 concise bullet points).

overview: Factual 160-220 word summary of the season's narrative arc.
primer: 4 concise bullet points summarizing essential previous lore, character positions, and stakes.
[1] TMDB: Season 3 is the first season broadcast daily on CITV (unlike seasons 1 & 2 which were Saturday night prime-time on ITV1). It has 18 single episodes instead of back-to-back segments.
[1, 3] Character: Mr. Bean is a clueless yet clever loner. He is aided by his best friend Teddy. He stumbles from one mishap to the next, finding complex solutions to simple problems.
[2, 4, 5] Series info: British animated sitcom. Based on live-action sitcom by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis. Mr. Bean is voiced by Rowan Atkinson. He lives in his flat.
Overview: I need to write 160-220 words about Season 3's narrative arc.
Problem: The provided text does not contain a narrative arc for Season 3. It only contains information about the broadcast schedule and episode format.
Constraint Check: "You write ONLY verifiable facts that are explicitly supported by the provided SYNOPSIS and SOURCES. You never invent or guess... If a detail is not in the provided material, you omit it rather than guess."
Dilemma: If I write 160-220 words about the narrative arc, I will be inventing facts because the sources don't provide the plot of Season 3. However, the prompt demands a 160-220 word summary of the narrative arc.
Resolution: I must stick to the facts provided. The only facts about Season 3 are its broadcast format and episode count. I cannot fulfill the word count requirement for a "narrative arc" if no narrative arc is provided, without violating the "never invent" rule.
Wait: Let me re-read. "factual 160-220 word summary of this season's narrative
