The award-winning pre-school TV show’s cinema  screening, which includes brand new never-before-seen stories, was an instant hit with Bingsters and grown-ups alike. 

Bing brings a lot of joy to our house of a morning!  What Bing does and his journey through life – kids can really relate to that,” said Antony Costa, from boy band Blue, who attended the Premiere with his family.

The cast of Bing, produced by Acamar Films, were among the guests. Also attending the star-studded event was TV presenter Alex Jones, DJ Annie Mac, actress Hannah Spearitt, singer J B Gill, actor Simon Bird, newsreader Sonali Shah and actress Sophie Colquhoun.

The premiere was presented by CBeebies presenter Cat Sandion who warmed up the audience with a sing along of the popluar Rainybow song.

Acamar Films CEO and Producer of the much-loved Bing shows Mikael Shields was also part of the celebrations. “It’s a priviledge to produce films for our audience and to be with them in London’s BFI seeing our Bing premiere – is just a joy”.
