Hilary Briss, one of the bizarre but richly defined characters that made The League of Gentlemen such a huge success

 

Video sales remained strong throughout the year. Our titles range from factual, such as The Blue Planet and Walking with Beasts, through entertainment, including Absolutely Fabulous and The League of Gentlemen, to drama, such as Pride and Prejudice.

The ever-popular Only Fools and Horses continued to perform well on both formats, selling over one million units, primarily in the UK.

Throughout the year, we easily maintained our position as the leading UK distributor of children’s television-based videos and DVDs.

We sold over a million Teletubbies and Tweenies videos in the UK alone, delighting children with titles such as Teletubbies Go! – featuring fun activities – and the Tweenies’ Song Time is Fab-a-Rooney, a sing-along favourite.

Overseas, we enjoyed strong sales particularly in the key territories of Australia and New Zealand. In the USA, our distribution agreement with Warner Bros saw video and DVD sales leap by a healthy 50%.
