May I first say that I love your LJ moniker. :-) I'm always in awe of people who come up with cute and clever names for their email/LJ.

Having primarily seen the 3rd and 4th series/seasons on Masterpiece Theatre/PBS (and my VHS tapes of them), I'm much more accustomed to the later Bingo, but he's always seemed rather sly and unkind and a bit weaselly to me, whereas my one glimpse of the earlier (blond) Bingo gave me a much nicer impression of the character.
