Bing
editIn searching for a new children's property to develop, Shields considered 600 projects including Peppa Pig and The Gruffalo[22]. The focus on the everyday attracted Shields to Bing[23] as did the property's potential to support the emotional resilience of young children.[24] Development for Bing began in 2004[25]. Shields approached actor Mark Rylance to provide the voice of the character Flop after seeing him perform in the play Jerusalem.[26] [27]Bing premiered on CBeebies on June 9th, 2014.[28] 105 episodes of Bing have been produced and broadcast.[29]
