Maybe I'm being an over-sensitive old sausage, but the only time I'd be using the life jacket and the light/whistle is in a proper emergency. You can create a comedy out of the whole safety demo thing but there needs to be some sensitivity within that, given the subject matter.
I really liked the directors cut and Rowan thanks to Mr Bean is a really recognised person in a lot of the world. So while I agree it's a tiny bit forced he does do that sort of thing very well. However explaining how to open the doors would be something I would have kept from the existing video. I'll miss the familiar "We're now going to explain the emergency procedures on this British Airways aircraft"
