THE message of living healthily is being spread throughout schools in Teesside.

Teesside Heath Action Zone and drama company Team Players are working on a play based on the TV show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

The dialogue that the character of Chris Tarrant has with each contestant centres on their state of health.

Humour is used to get across the effects of poor eating, smoking and lack of physical exercise.

Drama company director Terry Wilkinson said: "If the tour only reaches a small number of children then it will still have been worthwhile."
