It was just presented by Thames to the ITV network (and later Central).I'm pretty sure Thames had some involvement and it was more a co-production, at least with the early episodes (I can't check the exact wording as the ones online have been retro-edited to change the titles and have cut off the production caption). Certainly they provided facilities for the filming - if you look carefully at his credit card in one episode it's a Thames TV corporate card!
But then for international distribution its not just the production company that's credited but the distributor too, which was Thames and it's successors.... and probably still is
