April 28, 2010 - PRLog -- Embarrassing Bodies doctors take a trip to Drayton Manor Theme Park

Doctors from the popular Channel 4 show, Embarrassing Bodies took a road trip in their mobile truck to Drayton Manor Theme Park, as part of special series, which focused on children’s health.

The first instalment of the four-part kids spin-off will be aired this Friday 30th April on Channel 4 at 9pm, with the remaining episodes featuring reports from the park shown at the same time the following three Fridays.

This special season is aimed at helping parents who have a child suffering with common conditions, such as head lice and impetigo, or more sensitive conditions, such as mental health, behavioural problems and birth defects, or even undetected physical illnesses.

Colin Bryan, managing director, Drayton Manor Theme Park, comments: “As a father, grandfather, and director of a family run theme park, the well-being of children is a very important issue to me.

It was a privilege to have all the doctors on hand to offer their advice and support to parents who were visiting the park. It was also great to see the doctors taking some time out and enjoying the rides!”

Notes to Editor
Drayton Manor Theme Park is one of the UK’s most popular family attractions with over one million visitors a year. This year, the park is celebrating its Diamond Jubilee. Drayton Manor was first opened to the public by the current owners, the Bryan family, in 1950 after husband and wife co-founders, George, OBE, and Vera Bryan, converted 80 acres of derelict land, which once belonged to the former British Prime Minister Sir Robert Peel and his family, into a wonderful family attraction. Today, set in approximately 280 acres of beautiful woodland and countryside, the family owned and run Drayton Manor Theme Park features some of the biggest, wettest and scariest rides around, including Shock-wave, G-force, Maelstrom, and Apocalypse, as well as a 15-acre zoo, the hugely popular Thomas Land™ attraction, and a 4D Cinema.
