Harvest Productions

Can anyone remember when HTV had a company called Harvest Productions?  Apparently they owned First Independent Distribution.  They made Budgie The Little Helicopter.

And I didn't know that HTV made 'The Time, The Place!'

I got all this info from HTV's 1997 website on the Web Archive.

I thought TTTP was Thames TV?

Maybe the compliance passed to HTV in 1993. Because I know the programme used to be made by the franchises around the country.

Yeah I remember Harvest. What happened to them?

I thought The Time The Place was an Anglia production, or maybe because it toured the country it became the production of whichever ITV company it found itself at.

I certainly seem to remember it being at Norwich a lot of the time.

it had the same arrangement as Highway in the beginning with one ITV station taking responsibility for the co-ordination. Hence Tyne Tees's old London office used to co-ordinate Highway, Get Fresh and Ghost Train. Thames co-ordinated TTTP until this method was abandoned, then Anglia took over all the production of it no matter where it went, they did the same with Morning Worship..

Thought so

You could equally say Grampian made TTTP

I think Harvest merged into United Productions, when HTV was taken over.
