BBC Video was formed and established in 1980 as a division of BBC Enterprises to distribute BBC television programmes for home video (later "BBC Worldwide") with John Ross Barnard as head. In 2004, BBC Video merged with [[Video Collection International (UK)|Video Collection International]] (VCI), to create [[2 Entertain (UK)|2 Entertain]], although as of 2020, BBC uses their own logos | BBC Video was formed and established in 1980 as a division of BBC Enterprises to distribute BBC television programmes for home video (later "BBC Worldwide") with John Ross Barnard as head. | ||
In 2004, BBC Video merged with [[Video Collection International (UK)|Video Collection International]] (VCI), to create [[2 Entertain (UK)|2 Entertain]], although as of 2020, BBC Studios uses their own logos on releases of their material, with the 2Entertain branding being used on Non-BBC releases the company distributes. | |||
In the United States, the BBC released their products through [[CBS/Fox Video]]/[[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] from 1985 to 2000. The license was taken over by [[Warner Bros. Home Entertainment|Warner Home Video]] in 2000, however their logo was never used on actual releases, instead using just the standard UK logo or the 2Entertain logo, except on ''Charlie and Lola''. From 2017, the BBC self-distributes their releases in the United States. | |||
In Australia, their videos were originally distributed by [[PolyGram Video (UK)|PolyGram Video]], before Roadshow Entertainment and [[ABC DVD|ABC Video]] (the Australian "ABC") took over in 1996. | |||

'''Music/Sounds:''' A calm synth-string/harp theme with a hi-hat clash that's actually a slightly more upbeat arrangement of the 1990 theme. For the logo's first year, the theme was slightly different. The "prototype" variant is silent. | '''Music/Sounds:''' A calm synth-string/harp theme with a hi-hat clash that's actually a slightly more upbeat arrangement of the 1990 theme.
