Tintin receives UK premiere in London

The stars of Steven Spielberg's take on Herge's classic comic character, Tintin, have attended its UK premiere in London.

The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn tells of how the intrepid reporter sets off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship with Captain Haddock.

British actor Jamie Bell portrays the hero in the computer-generated 3D animation.

Bell told the BBC the film was "Spielberg at his best".
