Carlton Video

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carlton Video was a British VHS distribution company based in London. It was previously known as Pickwick Video until it was acquired by Carlton Communications and rebranded. Many of its releases were aimed at small children, though there were also many releases aimed at older viewers. The company released episodes of TV series on VHS, all of which were British except Starla and the Jewel Riders and Bananas in Pyjamas. Other series released by Carlton Video were Tots TV (some tapes released as Tots Video), Rosie and Jim, Old Bear Stories, The Story Store, Dream Street, Potamus Park, Jellikins, The World of Peter Rabbit and Friends and re-releases of Thunderbirds . The company also released the animated films The Wind in the Willows and The Willows in Winter.

Carlton merged with Granada plc to form ITV plc in 2004. Following that, ITV terminated the Carlton brand, except for Carlton Screen Advertising in Ireland.
