Finding a character in a string in an array of cells

Is it possible to directly take an n_th character of an array, which is located in an array of cells? Example:

>> G = {'1010101', '0010101', '0010101'} % an array of cells with strings in each cells

Now, I would like to access the first string and get the first character (in my case a bit). Till now I would assig a value of the cell to a variable x and then look into the first character, e.g:

x = G{1};
x(1)

Which is kind of annoying. Is it possible to get the character value without reassigning it? Like in Mathematica with double brackets.

>>  G = {'1010101', '0010101', '0010101'};
>> G{1}(1)
ans =
1
>> 

doc cell % for details on addressing

NB: however,

G{:}(1)

does not work; cellfun comes to the rescue.
