                   New Series commissioned by Disney Channel


The board of Talent is pleased to announce that its subsidiary, Talent
Television Limited ("Talent TV") has been commissioned by the Disney Channel to
produce a major new game series, based on an idea originated and developed by
Talent TV.


The series will consist of thirteen 30 minute programmes and will be the first
outsourced by the Disney Channel, arising from its new commissioning process
introduced last year. The series will start filming in the autumn and is
expected to be broadcast on the channel's winter 2003-2004 schedule.


The concept of the show is to create a fantasy adventure where contestants
appear to be shrunk and explore the workings of the human body. The objective is
to create a series that is fun and involving for the audience, appealing to the
core Disney age group of 8-12 year olds.


James Neal, Director of Programming for Disney Channel UK, said:


"We chose Talent TV as our partner in this because its team demonstrated a
strong combination of great creativity and in-depth production experience. This
commission demonstrates our commitment to develop stand-out programming that
delivers the high standards of quality family entertainment our audiences expect
from us."


John Kaye Cooper, Deputy Chairman and Creative Director of Talent, said:


"We are delighted to be working with Disney on this project. It will be a
breakthrough show in every respect - in content, in visual style and for the
channel itself."


Tony Humphreys, Managing Director of Talent, added,


"We are pleased to have been recognised by Disney as a Company which originates
and develops high quality entertainment programmes. This partnership with Disney
marks the first fruit of our efforts to work with major international media
players which we intend to develop."
