Availability: Despite it being used for more than 15 years, this logo is very rare due to many of its programmes no longer being reran and are hardly found via off-air prints. Was seen on lifestyle programming such as Nigella, Daily Cooks Challenge, Good Food Live, and several documentaries such as The Tallest Tower: Building The Shard, The True Story of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and My Brilliant Britain. This logo hasn't been used since 2012 as the company hasn't released any new programmes.
