Giant bananas went on tour with the breakfast television programme giving away fruit. They also encouraged 7 million viewers to 'go bananas' doing energetic fund-raising activities to boost the coffers of five different charities dedicated to children's causes and multiple sclerosis. Some £500,000 was raised and the Banana Group achieved publicity worth £1.3m in equivalent advertising spend.
