===Background===
'''Channel 4 Video''' was a home video arm of [[Channel 4|Channel 4]] that released the channel's programmes on home media, and also select third-party programmes as well. Initially, Channel 4 Video self-distributed their releases, but beginning in 1998, [[Video Collection International|VCI]] took over. When VCI renamed to [[2 Entertain|2 Entertain Video]] in September 2004, Channel 4 ended their deal with them in June 2005 and started to [[Channel 4 DVD |self distribute DVD releases]] because of the BBC's ownership in 2 Entertain.
