Pants on Fire Games hands UK distribution to Delta



Delta Leisure Group will handle all UK sales and distribution for a range of games from Pants on Fire Games Ltd. Last year Pants On Fire became the first toy company to secure investment in the BBC’s Dragons’ Den. The investment of £50k, from Duncan Bannatyne and Peter Jones, has allowed Pants On Fire to launch two fully licensed Marmite board games – Love It or Hate It and Who Put the Marmite In The Fridge? – both of which now form part of the collection handled by Delta.

Other Pants on Fire games to be distributed by Delta include the cheeky You Cannae Push Yer Granny Off The Bus, the RSPB-licensed bird-spotting Wing It, and fib-based trivia game, Liar Liar.

They’re an expanding, dynamic company, totally focused on their customers’ needs and they are very excited about our range. As well as helping us with multinational retailers, their extensive distribution network will allow our games to reach parts of the market where we could previously only scratch the surface of. It wasn't a difficult decision to make.”

 “Pants on Fire have produced an intriguing collection of games all with a quirky and fun tone to them, making them the perfect addition to our range. Consumer awareness of the games is sky high after their Dragon’s Den appearance, allowing the games to really stand out within any retailer’s games offering. We can’t wait to get started.”

The Limbless Mountaineer

Available to pre-order now from www.amazon.co.uk and www.deltamusic.co.uk



Documentary following Scottish mountaineer Jamie Andrew, as he attempts to climb one of the most dangerous peaks in the Alps. As seen on Channel 5.


A quadruple amputee faces the biggest challenge of his life: climbing the mighty Matterhorn. It’s a difficult and dangerous climb – even for an able-bodied climber, but Jamie Andrew is no ordinary man, he truly is one of life’s extraordinary people.

In January 1999 Jamie was trapped on an exposed ledge on the side of Les Droites – and watched as beside him his friend Jamie Fisher died. He lost his hands and feet – but never lost his determination, and vowed to continue pushing his boundaries in his friend’s memory.

Now Jamie returns to the Alps, leaving behind his wife and three young children, to take on his biggest ever challenge. And, despite yet another tragic development, nothing will put him off his attempt to conquer the infamous and deadly Matterhorn.

The Limbless Mountaineer follows this extraordinarily determined man as he pursues his dream.
