WhichBingo, the affiliate owned by XLMedia, has launched a video series that explores the bingo industry.
The series is sponsored by online provider HeartBingo and is hosted by WhichBingo’s Charlie Shakespeare.
As host, Shakespeare will visit bingo parties across the UK to meet with businesses and organisers behind each event.
On the list of destinations includes Dreamboys’ Dreamballs Bingo, Liverpool-based Bongo’s Bingo and Bogan’s Bingo – one of the first bingo club night events.
The series launched its first episode of ten instalments on 19 January, with a new episode airing on WhichBingo’s YouTube channel every Thursday until 23 March 2023.
The first episode saw Shakespeare visit Bongo’s Bingo at The Steel Yard in London Bridge, where he interviewed one of the performers and followed the proceedings of a night-time show.
The series is filmed by Red Kite Films, who specialise in art house, lifestyle and documentary filmmaking.
Red Kite Films’ most recent feature film, Seat 25, has won awards at film festivals and is streaming on digital services.
WhichBingo was acquired by XLMedia in 2018 in a deal that included Bingo.org.uk, BingoWorld.co.uk and QueBingo.com, as well as all of WhichBingo Ltd's affiliate accounts.
