FremantleMedia is one of the world’s largest and most successful creators, producers and distributors of outstanding entertainment brands. From prime time and serial drama to entertainment and factual entertainment, our programmes continue to excite, challenge, entertain and inspire audiences around the world.

With over 100,000 hours of programming, spanning half a century of production, the FremantleMedia Television Archive is one of the world’s greatest and diverse Television and Film libraries. Our vast collection includes some of the most popular Light Entertainment, Games Shows, Dramas, Current Affairs, Documentaries, and Children’s programming ever assembled.

A jewel in the crown is most certainly Thames TV, which from 1968 – 1992, Thames produced programmes in every conceivable genre as part of its remit – news, documentaries, drama, light entertainment, comedy, social concern, education, religion and children’s programmes. Some of the programmes it made are still showing regularly on British television – Morecambe and Wise, Man About the House, Robin’s Nest, George and Mildred, Kenny Everett’s Video Show, The Sweeney, Minder, Danger Mouse, Count Duckula, Rainbow and others still show on satellite, cable and sometimes terrestrial channels.

Here the impressive range of documentaries are available for business viewing purposes only and in many cases for the first time since broadcast.  Many domestic and international subjects are covered and include gems such as Destination America,  London – The Making of a City, Martin Lurther King , Muhammad Ali and of course the flagship This Week and TV Eye strands and much much more -all making Thames TV an enviable source for all documentary filmmakers.

Our collection is growing as FremantleMedia continue to produce new programming in over 35 territories.

FremantleMedia Archive offers content business users the opportunity to license clips or stills from this vast and impressive collection.
