We look forward to the first full year's contribution from our 2004 acquisitions; The Filmation library of classic contemporary animated programming and Tell-Tale Productions, the creative talent behind the hugely successful TweeniesTM. The integration of Filmation is complete and the successful roll-out of DVD titles for Fat AlbertTM and He-Man and the Masters of the Universe(R) in the US, reaffirms the Board's belief that 2005 will be a significant year for the library. Tell-Tale Productions' integration into the Company has beenrealised and the TweeniesTM live arena show, 'No Sleep 'Till Bedtime' has recently toured the country playing to a total audience of over 110,000. Work continues on Tell-Tale's strong and innovative development and production slate with Tell-Tale's brand new programming Fun Song Factory and BB3B enjoying ratings success on CiTV and the BBC respectively.
The Company is well positioned for long-term growth via its strategy of aggregating quality owned and third party multi-media content. Demand for our content has never been higher as the digital age transforms the global mediamarket. The Board is confident that trading remains in line with market expectations.'

This company is well positioned to go onward and upwards, a nice stock to have in your portfolio, and tell your kids a bedtime story all about your Postman Pat investment. Zzzzzz zzzzzz

Home entertainment sales through Right Entertainment have exceeded 10.6 million units, so with an extra three films we could expect an extra 5m units, a nice revenue earner.

The drop today is the last Sun/Mail telling its readers to take profits, not very wise after just adding the addition of Rupert Bear to the stable of global children's brands. This share has a long way to go yet.

Nice little tick up today Pat.

ITV COMMISSIONS NEW FLAGSHIP PRE-SCHOOL PROGRAMME FROM ENTERTAINMENT RIGHTS

Entertainment Rights Plc ('ER'), one of the UK's leading independent media
groups specialising in children's and family programming, characters and brands,
today announces that leading UK broadcaster, ITV has secured the UK broadcast
rights to ER's brand new television series Jim Jam & Sunny. ITV has commissioned
ER to produce 260 x 11 minute episodes to appear both on ITV1 and its new
dedicated children's digital channel, CiTV. ER owns all rights worldwide in
perpetuity to the Jim Jam & Sunny brand.

This agreement represents a significant programming commitment from ITV which is
positioning Jim Jam & Sunny as the flagship live-action children's show on ITV1
and the CiTV channel. Terrestrial broadcast on ITV1 is due to commence from
Autumn 2006 and Jim Jam & Sunny will also be rolled-out on the new CiTV channel
where it will air daily. CiTV can be accessed by over 6 million viewers on
Freeview, where it will be the only free-to-air commercial channel, as well as
on all the main digital television platforms in the UK - Sky, Telewest and NTL
Cable. This multi broadcast platform gives Jim Jam & Sunny maximum audience
exposure.

Jim Jam & Sunny will be produced by ER's wholly owned subsidiary, Tell-Tale
Productions ('Tell-Tale'). Acquired by ER in September 2004, Tell-Tale has an
enviable track record in producing internationally successful children's
programming. Tell-Tale produced the biggest ever pre-school commission with the
phenomenally successful Tweenies. Jim Jam & Sunny's live action format will
utilise this production expertise and will feature an ambitious life-sized set
with specialised animatronics and digital technology creating an innovative and
groundbreaking look. Each episode consists of a collection of interactive
stories, activities, songs, animated segments and games that can be tailored for
specific audiences, time slots and media platforms creating maximum exploitation
adaptability in the new digital media world.

Jim Jam & Sunny will commence production in early 2006 and ER will launch a full
consumer products campaign, online campaign and DVD release programme for the
brand based on this key broadcast platform. Jim Jam & Sunny will launch
internationally at international television market MIP TV in April 2006.

Mike Heap, CEO of Entertainment Rights said:

'Jim Jam & Sunny is one of the first new shows to be commissioned by ITV for
both CiTV and ITV1. We are delighted to be partnering with ITV following their
increased commitment to children's programming and the exciting launch of their
stand alone, dedicated children's digital channel, CiTV. Jim Jam & Sunny is a
multidimensional brand with application across a whole range of global
multimedia platforms beyond television which include interactive, music
downloads and games, live events and hand held devices. We have no doubt that
this ground-breaking pre-school show will engage generations of children around
the world.'
