  • The Incorporated Television Company (or ITC Entertainment as it was more commonly referred to on-screen) was a British television company largely involved in production and distribution. It was founded by television mogul Lew Grade in 1954 (as the Incorporated Television Production Company) before initially becoming a subsidiary of the newly formed Associated TeleVision (ATV) and later, in 1966, a subsidiary of the Associated Communications Corporation (ACC). Grade realised the potential in overseas sales and foresaw the advent of colour television (The Adventures of Sir Lancelot was filmed in colour a decade before colour television existed in the UK), and ITC combined high production values with exotic locations — using variations on the same successful formula for the majority of its television output. For almost thirty years ITC was active in producing television and film content, mostly for ATV, before ITC's association with the broadcaster and success actually led to the demise of both ATV as a broadcaster and ITC as a production company in the early 1980s. In the following period, during which the company changed hands many times, ITC continued to distribute its past library, before ceasing operations in 1998 with the death of its founder. The large library of ITC productions continued to change hands several times, before coming under ownership of ITV plc, and continues to be popular around the world with new audiences discovering ITCs original output through television repeats, books and DVD releases.
