                          ("Talent" or "the Company")                          

                              Directorate Change                               

Talent announces, further to the announcement of the interim results of the
Company earlier today, that it has appointed Mr Stephen Callen to the board as
Finance Director. Stephen, a Chartered Accountant, has over fifteen years
experience of the independent television sector.

Mr Callen qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 1980 with Dixon Wilson where
he remained until 1986, when he joined Hanover Druce plc as assistant company
secretary. In 1988 he was appointed finance director of Sunset + Vine plc in
order to oversee their flotation on the Unlisted Securities Market. This
company transferred to the main market in 1990 and in 1995 merged with the
Molinare Group to become The Television Corporation plc, which subsequently
acquired the Mentorn Group. He left The Television Corporation in 2003 to take
up a position as finance director of Brentford Football Club, enabling the Club
to be re-financed and acquired by its Supporters Trust in 2006. Since then he
has been involved in a number of media-related projects.

Under Schedule 2, paragraph (g) of the AIM Rules, the following information is
disclosed:
