Background

Pearson Television Video (or PT Video) was the home video subsidiary of Pearson Television, formed in 1998 from the merger of Pearson New Entertainment and Thames Video. Following the rebranding of Pearson Television into FremantleMedia, PT Video was rebranded as Fremantle Home Entertainment in 2002.

(1998-2002)


Logo: On a moving purple background, we see a circular light moving from the logo. Then we see what appears to be a shape of a cube with words cote-out: "P" on the left side, "T" on the right side, and "VIDEO" on the bottom right of the cube. The logo brightens, as the cube turns blue with pink and green hues, which then glows brighter. The byline "A Division of Pearson Television International Ltd" fades in below the cube.

Technique: CGI.

Music/Sounds: We start with an echoey clang, and while a single synth pad note plays, we hear what sounds like a jet engine accelerating.

Availability: Uncommon.

  • Can be found on VHS and DVD releases of Thames Television material, such as Adventures on Button Moon, and also the very first DVD release of The BFG.
  • It also appears on Prism Leisure-distributed releases as well.
  • However, it doesn't appear on the 2001 UK VHS reissue of The Wind In The Willows: Autumn Antics, which uses the Thames Video Collection logo instead, due to it being reused from the 1988 VHS master.
