       Bobby Davro adds to children's celebrity narrated audio catalogue 
 
One Media, the PLUS quoted consolidators and acquirers of music and video 
rights, is pleased to announce that it has recorded six further children's 
stories narrated by comedian Bobby Davro, joining the 50 hours of 'kids 
stories' acquired on the 25th June 2012 (RNS). 
 
Bobby has added his talent to that of Rik Mayall, Judi Dench, Stephen Fry, 
Patrick Moore, Tony Robinson, Phillip Schofield, Lenny Henry, David Bellamy and 
Bill Oddie, by reading and recording a selection of stories, which includes The 
Hare & the Tortoise, Rumpelstiltskin, Rapunzel, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel 
& Gretel, and the Adventures of Alice in Wonderland. 
 
Michael Infante, Chairman and CEO said, "We are continuing to add to this 
category using celebrities to add their 'style' to children's classics. The 
storyline and mimicry contained within these recordings is first class and 
parents will enjoy the subliminal humour as well. In addition to these 
recordings we are now looking at creating 'animated video' to accompany several 
of the recordings. These will bring to life much of the contemporary creativity 
and characters within the stories. There may even be broadcast opportunities 
for the product as well. One Media intends to make these available for digital 
downloading and streaming via ITunes, Amazon, Spotify, YouTube and all other 
major digital stores."
