'''2 Entertain''' is a British music and video publisher, founded in September 2004, following a merger between [[BBC Video]] and [[Video Collection International]], VCI was renamed to 2 Entertain after the merger, but VCI continued to use their logo and BBC continued to self distribute releases, both until September 2005, when 2 Entertain launched its own logo and they also started to distribute BBC's releases. 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.
