Leading UK retailer bags TV coverage

January 3, 2008 - This year looks set to be a good one for the Northeast based retailer Bean Bag Bazaar after its bean bags were featured on the Noel Edmunds Christmas special "Noels Christmas Presents". In addition, Bean Bag Bazaar beanbags will also be featured on other top-rated TV shows such as Britain's Next Top Model and the Match during 2008.

Broadcast twice on Sky One over the Christmas period, Noels Christmas Presents appeared once on Sunday 23 December at 7pm (straight after a brand new episode of Sky's most watched programme The Simpsons) and then again on Christmas Day during the peak 6-9pm period. Estimates put the viewing figures at 1million viewers on both airings.

Mark Dolder, Managing Director at Bean Bag Bazaar said "When we heard Lucy's story we were only too happy to help. Christmas is a time of giving and we couldn't imagine anyone who deserved the Christmas of a lifetime more than Lucy".

As a young carer Lucy (aged 8) has had to mature before her time and takes on the responsibility of the day to day running of a working household, this includes, cooking, cleaning, shopping, answering the phone and being her parents sole link to the outside world. As a treat for all the hard work Lucy does on a daily basis - she was treated to a fun break away with her friends after which she returned to a made over magical bedroom retreat for her to relax in after a hard day.

A television institution at Christmas throughout the 80's and 90's, Noels Christmas Presents disappeared from the screen for nearly ten years before Sky brought the show back for 2007.
