                               BRIGHT THINGS PLC



              Agreement with Chorion on licensing rights for Noddy

Bright Things PLC, the developer of an educational games console and software
for the pre-school market, has signed an agreement with Chorion, the brand
creation and management business, for the distribution rights for Enid Blyton's
Noddy brand.

Today's announcement marks further progress in Bright Thing's strategy of
seeking distribution rights for characters that will provide the basis for
Bright Thing's games. The partnership with Chorion for the Noddy brand follows
the May 2004 agreement with BBC Worldwide for the distribution rights for other
key children's characters, including The Teletubbies and The Tweenies.

Whilst advances are clearly being made in licensing the characters for the
games, Bright Things is concurrently making good progress with the development
of the actual console on which the games will be played. Pre-school children
will therefore soon be able to enjoy Noddy and other much loved characters on
Bright Thing's own console platform.

Dominic Wheatley, CEO, Bright Things, said:

'Noddy and his friends are hugely popular amongst the pre-school children market
so this is a significant step for Bright Things. Brands like these will form the
basis of our games. After today's announcement and the earlier agreement with
BBC Worldwide, we now have distribution rights for some very exciting and value
enhancing children's characters.

Nicholas James, Chorion's chief executive, said:

'Noddy has become a global brand spanning publishing, TV, live events and
licensed consumer products - now including games consoles. We're delighted that
Noddy has been selected as a lead character by Bright Things for the launch of
their console.'
