From the Daily Mail today.

Basil Brush has entered the race to buy Noddy owner Chorion. Entertainment Rights is the third bidder in a widening field for the company, whose management led by chairman Lord Alli want to take it private for 111m, or 425p a share. Hit Entertainment, home to Bob the Builder, is also looking at the books.

A meeting this Friday to vote on the buyout has been cancelled. But Alli is still confident he can win the day because of a close relationship with the Agatha Christie estate, with whom Chorion develops key characters Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple.

Cheers Stock, I don't think the city liked the idea the last time ERT it looked at Chorion IMO it would enlarge the company significantly and any way big ears would get on very well with Jess.

Looks like its true.... Maybe Pat can make a couple of quid more delivering mail around toytown !

That's it it's official

PRESS SPECULATION REGARDING CHORION PLC ('CHORION')


The Board of Entertainment Rights Plc ('Entertainment Rights') notes recent
press speculation regarding Entertainment Rights' intentions in respect of
Chorion. The Board of Entertainment Rights confirms that it is considering a
possible offer for Chorion and wishes to make clear that it is endeavouring to
assess the strategic and financial condition of Chorion. The work is at a
preliminary stage; shareholders in both Entertainment Rights and Chorion should
be aware that there is no certainty that an offer will be forthcoming.

Mr Heap ... The market reaction to very good results is disapointing may I suggest that while naturaly conserving resources at present; a small dividend would have boosted the price nicely and would not have restricted your plans for expansion ... your shareholders need encouraging as well as your workers.

On the last two occasions when ERT considered making offers for Chorion in Nov 2002 and Dec 2003, Chorion refused to let ERT conduct due diligence and they proceeded no further. It will be interesting to see how Chorion responds this time.

When ERT announce that they have pulled out of the bidding war (most probable) the sp will shoot up IMO to what I dont know.

HIT have withdrawn their offer for Chorion after due diligence yesterday.

ERT must, by 12 noon on Thursday 13 April 2006, either announce a firm intention to make an offer for Chorion.

Think the Chorion situation is holding this share back. As stated this will all come to a head on Thursday. Think this share is undervalued and still has great prospects.

Don't think Chorion deal would be bad news, they have a strong stable of products and would certainly enhance ERT stable and global profile.

That's it for Noddy for the time being.

I will continue with the thread when news arises.

Oh no! Who's going to deliver the mail in the meantime? and who's going to feed Jess?

Altium has reiterated its 'Buy' recommendation.

Been in and out of these since Jan 2005 in ISA. Done very well for me. Have also traded them.

The fundies are not quite what they were. Hmm.

Typical they get tipped then go down.

as a shareholder I always look for mention of that magic word...DIVIDEND...even if none is paid...did I miss it in these results...ERT seem to have a super portfolio to sell to 170 countries, but results do not appear in cash...is this just me being paranoid?

can anyone set me right, should I cut my losses or hold for the millenium? any advice gratefully received.
