Talkback Productions, commonly simplified to just Talkback (formerly known as Talkback-UK from 2003 to 2006), was a British television production company established in 1981 by comedy duo Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones.[1]
History
Talkback was sold to Pearson Television in 2000.[2] The company merged with Thames Television in 2003 and the combined entity was renamed Talkback Thames. Despite the merger, Talkback continued as a separate entity and its own logo to be used at the end of the label's comedy and factual productions until 2006. On 1 January 2012, Talkback Thames was split into four separate production companies; Boundless, Retort, Talkback and Thames.[3]
On 16 September 2024, it was announced that Talkback would be merged again with Thames to re-form Talkback Thames following the managing director Jonno Richards exiting Talkback.[4]
