Entertainment Rights Plc, one of the UK's fastest growing children's and family

"Fresh from our success at this year's BAFTAs, we are delighted to have been
awarded this coveted commission from ITV representing Siriol's first live action
commission. In addition to this new commission, I am also pleased to add that
Siriol is working on a number of long term production commitments including
Fireman Sam for S4C and HIT Entertainment and Bobinogs for the BBC. This is
testament to the creativity and technical ability of our studio and its staff".
