Wouldn't ITV have some sort of ownership in the Professionals remasters anyway, seeing as they own the show itself?
They did have some releases that were more mainstream, I guess they used them to help fund the more niche ones.
They recently released a 96 disc Crossroads boxset, which had every surviving episode up until Noele Gordon's departure, that really is the sort of thing nobody else would do. In the UK at least, Australia seems to be a haven of releases of TV shows of all genres and levels of obscurity, many of which don't seem to be released elsewhere, even in the countries they were made in, including releases of long running shows with loads of episodes, like Prisoner and The Bill which have been released in full (Network only got as far as 1990 with the latter).

Unfortunaky times are hard, it's a shame
