For its first two years, they retained the [[Cinema Club]] label, which was used for low cost releases, while their label would be used for full cost releases. BBC Worldwide owned 60% of the company until 2010, when the company purchased The Woolworth Group's share of 40%. In May 2012, [[BBC Home Entertainment]] started to self distribute releases. As a result, the 2 Entertain name is now used on occasional non-BBC releases. | ||
