Nigel Pickard took a few TVS shows to STV when TVS lost their licence, but I think Neil Buchanan was more instrumental in saving Art Attack, and of course STV was the broadcaster to get the show on the air. Buchanan just produced it through his own company, Media Merchants, at the time. It has since been sold on.
Not that the TVS legal situation blocks anything, IIRC we saw a TVS episode of Art Attack on the CITV Old Skool Weekend strand (the episode where he made the Queen's face out of bank notes which had to be done at like a top secret location because they borrowed the money from the Bank of England for that)
