This PBS special looks interesting for the many Bing fans out there.

Hopefully it will barely have anything about the accusations that I imagine most of us don't put too much stock into (Feelings that seem to be shared by most of his family including his other children, friends, and colleagues). Hopefully whatever they say about that, it casts skepticism over those claims at the very least.

Around here when I saw it advertised just now, it looks like it airs locally on the 26th and 27th of December. But apparently it's not its premier.

Has anyone seen it yet?

Yes, and it's very good.

The accusations about Bing do come up in the last third of the documentary, but they are balanced by the words of praise from his second family who all seem to have adored him.

I would have liked for more of his movie career especially in the 1930s to have been covered, but it was such a long, full career that nothing could be dwelled on for any great length of time.

Certainly I found out some things about Bing that I never knew.
