MANILA -- A "buttocks exposure scene" in an episode of a locally aired foreign sitcom drew the attention of the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB), prompting a mandatory conference to discuss the matter.

On its official Twitter page, the MTRCB on Tuesday identified the scene which aired on Monday, October 21, during an episode of the popular British program "Mr. Bean."

"Mr. Bean," which had a six-year run in the United Kingdom starting 1989, currently airs at 9:45 a.m. as part of ABS-CBN's "Team Animazing" line-up.

Other programs in this block include the cartoon adventure "Jackie Chan's Fantasia" and the live action series "Power Rangers RPM."

In the episode of "Mr. Bean" aired locally on Monday, the title character portrayed by Rowan Atkinson is seen woken up by loud music from a neighboring hotel room. Appearing to be naked, he gets up to demand silence but somehow ends up locked out from his own room.

The character then scrambles to hide from passers-by along the corridors. He gets various items, such as signages and a fire extinguisher, to cover his private parts. At one point, he is seen crawling into an elevator with his buttocks exposed.
