Bright Things PLC, the developer of an educational games console and software
for the pre-school market, has reached agreement with Bandai UK Ltd for the
exclusive distribution rights of its educational games console, The Bubble, and
its associated software in the United Kingdom and Eire. The Bubble is planned
for launch initially in the UK, with a roll out into the US and other European
markets thereafter.

In recent months, Bright Things, which listed on AIM in Spring 2004, has signed
content agreements to develop games for its console featuring a number of the
most well known children's TV characters including Thomas & Friends TM, Bob the
BuilderTM, Postman Pat(R), NoddyTM, The TeletubbiesTM and The TweeniesTM.

As part of the three-year agreement covering the UK and Eire, Bandai has
guaranteed to purchase from Bright Things a minimum of 100,000 Bubble consoles
and 200,000 units of associated software in the first year.

Dominic Wheatley, CEO, Bright Things, said:
'The UK distribution agreement marks another significant step in Bright Things'
development and we are delighted to be working with a company of Bandai's
calibre.

'We continue to make progress on the development of the hardware and the
software and aim to launch in the summer. I am looking forward to Bandai
unveiling Bubble for the first time to the trade at the London Toy Fair this
week.'

Julian Boyers, Sales Director, Bandai UK, said:
'We are very pleased to be associated with what will prove to be such a high
profile property in a competitive market place.

'The TV titles which are already in place, and many more in the pipeline for
future use, will give the 'Bubble' games platform tremendous appeal to young
children.'
