During this two-part thriller, Neil and Elizabeth take their children David and Rachel on a camping holiday in rural France.

Oddly, they find themselves continuingly bumping into over friendly couple Simon and Linda who claim to be camping with their own children.

Elizabeth finds the couple creepy, a fear which is compounded when they begin to spot Simon and Linda's camper van in their rear view mirror. Are the couple following them or is it mere coincidence?

Later, when a young boy goes missing, Elizabeth and Neil begin to suspect the oddball couple are more dangerous than creepy.

To their horror, the same boy runs screaming from the woods into the path of their car. As they look for help, stranded in the isolated forest of the Pyrenees, they see the camper van appearing out of the darkness.

When Neil and Elizabeth go to investigate, Simon and Linda have gone. And when they return to their own car, so have David and Rachel.

And now look! You can even take a sneaky peak at Bon Voyage with our fantastic clip.

DCD Media plc

("DCD" or the "Company")

Director Shareholding

DCD was informed on 8 November 2006 that Richard Price, a Director of the
Company, acquired 512,905 ordinary shares of 0.01p each in DCD ("Shares") on 8
November 2006 at a price of 0.91 pence per Share. Mr Price is now the
beneficial owner of 9,850,000 Shares, representing 0.33% of the total issued
share capital of the Company.

DCD Media plc, the arts, entertainment and drama television production and
distribution group, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary,
Iambic Productions Limited, has commenced two new projects, both of which are
expected to air on television in the Christmas season, bringing the number of
Iambic programmes being premiered on television over the next two months to
four.

The first, `Abba - Thank You For The Music', is a new feature-length
documentary about the Swedish pop group. Initial sales have been to ITV1 and
Network Seven Australia. The second, initially for BBC One, is a documentary
about the new Cirque du Soleil show and associated forthcoming Beatles CD
`Love'.

Current pre-sale revenues for these two projects exceed 500,000. Additionally,
the Company expects to generate significant further sales from overseas
distribution. Iambic's previous Abba documentaries have exceeded a further
200,000 in foreign and other media sales. The `Love' programme is also expected
to generate further revenues for the group over and above its initial BBC One
pre-sale.

International sales of both productions will be undertaken by DCD Media's
in-house distributor NBD Television.

DCD Media Chief Executive Chris Hunt said, "These are two very major projects
for Iambic, which is cementing its reputation as the country's leading producer
of high quality popular culture programmes. Our Abba films have, over the
years, been Iambic's most profitable, and we see no reason for this one to be
an exception, while `Love' is a breakthrough for the company on BBC One. Iambic
is currently extremely busy, and has a pipeline of other major projects
awaiting production. Iambic routinely generates margins far higher than its
sector average, and these new programmes will go a long way to ensure that the
current year is no exception."
