Originally released in April 2000, Tweenies - Ready to Play is now BBC Multimedia's best selling title ever with over 100k units shipped into retail to date. After being listed by Chart Track as the top selling Children's PC CD-ROM title for the year 2000, the title continues to dominate the charts, not dropping out of the top three in 55 weeks as children remain spellbound by the Tweenies phenomenon.

Winner of the BIMA Gold Award last year in the Home Reference/Home Learning category and the Right Start Best Toy Awards 2000 Gold Award in the Software category, the title has received widespread recognition for its educational content in addition to its commercial success.

The title, aimed at children aged three and over, offers hours of interactive fun and supports the National Curriculum Key Stage One in the areas of English, Art, Maths and IT - making it a valuable educational tool as well as lots of fun.

Easy to use, Tweenies - Ready to Play offers a plethora of entertaining and educational activities:
1. Messy Time - three fantastic paint and make activities.
2. News Time - play Bella's quiz and guess what's in the hidden picture.
3. Play Time - Milo has 3 games to play in his toy box.
4. Join in a story or watch videos with the Tweenies in Story Time and Telly Time and participate in action songs or experiment with music and dance in Song Time.
5. Doodles Mail - send and receive mail from the Tweenies.

Drew Kaza, Managing Director of Internet and Interactive, comments: "The fact that Tweenies - Ready to Play is still at number one in the charts more than a year after its initial release is a staggering success story. It's testimony to the place the Tweenies holds in the hearts of our youth. The title beautifully combines those elements that make a successful children's title and extend their enjoyment of the Tweenies brand. We're looking forward to its continued success and achieving additional acclaim with our new PlayStation Tweenies product."

A new Tweenies title - Tweenies - Game Time - has recently been released on PlayStation by BBC Multimedia.
