Flop acts as a gentle guide and supportive grown up figure to Bing. Gentle, wise and always truthful, he provides comfort and reassurance and lends a helping hand when necessary, giving Bing the space to figure things out for himself. Flop encourages Bing to experience and learn from any spills, setbacks or the odd clumbo (a clumsy mistake). He is often heard saying ‘Don’t worry Bing, it’s no big thing’.
