Entertainment Rights secures toy, publishing deals for Rupert Bear brand
AFX

LONDON (AFX) - Entertainment Rights PLC, which controls the rights to several children's characters including Basil Brush and Postman Pat, said it has secured toy and publishing deals for its recently acquired Rupert Bear brand.

British toy company, Martin Yaffe International has been awarded UK Master Toy rights to Rupert Bear, and children's character book publisher Egmont UK Ltd has secured the UK and Commonwealth publishing rights to the brand, it said.

The announcement follows ER's recent agreement with UK broadcaster, Five, for the new animated television series of 'Rupert and Friends' to air on Five's pre-school block, Milkshake.

Martin Yaffe will develop and manufacture a range of pre-school toys including plush and plastic toys, while Egmont will produce a range of publishing formats including annuals, novelty and story books for both the new Rupert Bear brand and the 'Classic' Rupert.

In parliament today a group of MPs tabled a commons motion congratulating CH 5 for the return of Rupert Bear after a 14-year absence.

Rumour is hes standing for the Lib Dem leadership.
Ladbrokes have him a short price favourite ahead of ming the merciless.

The problem is Rupert does like the odd tipple.

Sorry Driver,
Just re-read post 294. First time I read it I thought Rupert was an MP that CH 5 had taken hostage and now released after 14 years in captivity.
I now realise my mistake and this is good news for the company. The old favourites come back year after year.
