It seems that, for copyright reasons, the video featuring Rowan Atkinson aka Mr Bean at the London Symphony Orchestra concert conducted by Simon Rattle during the Olympic Games opening ceremony has been removed from all sites hosting it.

I found it here and I'm passing it on:

I know Nyman expressed all his disappointment regarding this performance. I don't mind it, even if Atkinson has undoubtedly done better (Black Adder, for example). But the parody of Chariots of Fire is still worth it.

In Vangelis' original, that 'bass line' most likely came from an analog synth driven by an equally analog CV/gate sequencer. The video shows a Korg M3 (a digital workstation) with an English actor pretending to repeat a note that had probably never been repeated before by human hands
