Mr Bean aired on 7 with the network having content from ITV studios. I believed it was also aired on ABC
ABC was the original broadcaster of Mr Bean. From what I can find online, Seven picked up the repeat rights in 1997 (the series ended its original run in 1995), and aired them until the early 2000s, in which it has since returned to the ABC.
The “Everyone’s Home with Seven” era of the late 90s
Not even that could get witness to rate IIRC.
From during Seven’s telecast of the 1996 AFL 2nd Preliminary Final in September 1996:

The War Wagon up next promo (with Anne Fulwood saying “You’re watching Channel Seven” at the start):
I think you’ll find that’s Anne Fullwood.
Yeah. I felt like it was wrong but late last night was struggling to remember her name.
Haven’t seen that one.
Interesting that Seven advertised it at 10.30.
