2015: When my DS was little and I was a very straaained sahm, my anger and frustration seemed to peak with Bing and his irritatingly unflappable carer (voiced by Rylance). I honestly could've murdered that man.

2023: I've just watched Wolf Hall and I FUCKING FANCY HIM (Rylance that is, not Bing).

Wtf.

Was always in awe of his parenting skills tbh. (Flop's, that is)

At least you had it that way round - I watched wolf hall first and fancied mark rylance (the eyes, the voice, etc…swoon) which led to some rather confusing feelings when subsequently watching Bing after DC arrived….

Mark Rylance is an incredible actor. What the bloody hell he was doing doing a voice over in Bing is beyond me.

@KnitFastDieWarm that made me laugh a lot!

The Bing voice was taken over by David Threlfall from Shameless after a while. That might help settle things a little 😄

I think it must be quite lucrative and probably takes a lot less time than filming. They get some decent names doing those voices!

Mark rylance has the best eyebrows I've ever seen! And I totally would!!

Watch Bridge of Spies. His character is so unpleasant and his acting so believable that it will fix everything.

Noleafclover1 · 20/12/2023 07:30

Watch Intimacy! That will definitely not fix things Grin

I’ve never got an ‘unpleasant character’ vibe from BoS. He comes across as more of a pragmatist accepting his fate, to me.

Same. 'What would Flop do' or WWFD, is a great mantra.

I always suspected Flop was on the highest dose of benzos the GP could prescribe.

Watch Bones and All, see where you end up 🤣
