 ===Background===
-<p>[[The Video Collection]] was renamed to '''Video Collection International''' ('''VCI''') in 1994 due to financial difficulties (the name change was applied on-screen the following year), and in 1999 the company was sold to the Kingfisher group. In September 2004, the company merged with [[BBC Video]] to form [[2 Entertain]]. The company's legal name was changed to 2 Entertain Video as a result of the merger, but their logo was used on 2 Entertain's releases until September 2005. Starting from September, 2 Entertain began using it's own logo on releases.

Kingfisher sold the company to the Woolworths Group in July 2001 and in September 2004, the company merged with [[BBC Video]] to form [[2 Entertain]]. Despite the merger, VCI's logo continued to be used, but the company was renamed to 2 Entertain Video and BBC continued to self distribute releases. In September 2005, 2 Entertain launched a new logo to replace the VCI logo and their logo started to appear on BBC releases.
