Thank you to Wadham's Easter team, Sarah and Jo for organising our raffle, Ben for compering, and to Head Chef, Neil, and team for the morning coffee and hot cross buns! Thanks also to everyone who supported the raffle by donating prizes and buying tickets. We raised nearly Β£400.00 for SeeSaw, an organisation offering grief support for children, young people and their families in Oxfordshire when they have been bereaved or when somebody close to them is terminally ill: https://seesaw.org.uk/

What a great set of pictures! Long before the world knew him as Mr. Bean, a young Rowan Atkinson was studying something very different.

In 1972, the 17-year-old Atkinson was studying Electrical Engineering at Newcastle University. By all accounts he was a serious and talented student, fascinated by electronics and technology.

After Newcastle, he continued his studies at The Queen's College, Oxford, where he completed a master’s degree in Electrical Engineering.

It was at Oxford that things began to change.

While studying, Atkinson became involved with Oxford University Dramatic Society and the famous Oxford R***e. There he started performing comedy sketches and developing the style that would later make him famous.

From those early performances eventually came characters like Mr. Bean and shows such as Blackadder, which helped establish him as one of Britain’s most successful comedy actors.

Not many people go from building electronic circuits to creating some of the most recognisable comedy characters in television history β€” but Rowan Atkinson managed both.
