Essentially it was Fremantle/RTL who chose to revive the Thames name properly for all its UK productions, prior to its merger with Talkback. Andrew Wiseman’s 625 website had an article about this, and Thames was chosen as the brand was the most recognised after the BBC and Granada.

The gold logo was introduced in 2018 for Thames’s 50th anniversary.
