The best children's tv I've seen since the excellent Pocoyo. Great characters, brilliant animation and very life like situations for kids. Those who criticise the language used and Bings sensitivity need to get a life and sit down and watch Cocomelon which is just horrific and will turn your kids into zombies. Bing has a lovely sensitive side as well as addressing how kids can respond to situations which they are not comfortable with. The show always ends with a positive message from Bing and Flop and adds to what is a genius of a show for small children. There are plenty of episodes to enjoy. Brilliant.

Not in the slightest amusing. I feel desperately sorry for the cast being given this garbage to act out. The whole thing is just dreadful but they keep making more series so must appeal to someone!

If like myself you grew up watching the original which was magical then I'm afraid Mr Gatiss fare was always on to a hiding. The new version will appeal to a new audience but lacks warmth, atmosphere and is full of very wooden performances. Tamsin Greig and Simon Cowell are acceptable but are not a patch on Dors or Naismith. We are also subjected to the common place politically correct balance of ethnic characters and this is tiresome. The original film is a classic ghost story with great characters, warmth and fantastic delivery. This adaptation is an insult and not worthy of your time.
