Euston Films

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Euston Films was a British film and television production company. It was a subsidiary company of Thames Television, and operated from the 1970s to the 1990s, producing various series for Thames, which were screened nationally on the ITV network. The most famous Euston Films productions include Van der Valk (1972), The Sweeney (1975-78), Minder (1979-1994), Quatermass (1979) and Reilly: Ace of Spies (1983). The Sweeney series had two feature film spin-offs, Sweeney and Sweeney 2, which were also produced by Euston.

The company was disbanded soon after Thames lost their ITV franchise for broadcasting on weekdays in London in 1992 and was merged with Talkback, becoming talkbackTHAMES.
