Well, Paramount has rights to show Minder, but I never see the Thames ident before it starts.

Thame's Library is owned by RTLGroup/Freemantlemedia. They sell broadcast rights of their programmes to whatever channel wants to show them.
Not sure about what happened to the library programmes that G Plus had. Assuming no-one else has the (multichannel) rights to Man about the House, ITV3 could purchase them from Freemantle, unless they got the rights from Plus.

If a broadcaster such as the BBC wants to show it's programmes again on UKTV Gold, then the BBC have first choice and get the programme anyway, no problem. But when they are done or don't want to show it again, they sell to other Broadcasters.
ITV probably do the same as the BBC when it comes to ITV3.
I think Paramount must have a deal with FremantleMedia, as Minder and Robins Nest are usually shown on there.

Who owns the rights to other ITV programmes though? I've seen old Central programs on Challenge like Bullseye and Blockbusters for examples. I've also seen old Yorkshire programs on Paramount such as The New Statesmen. Incidentally all of those examples had their companies frontcaps and endcaps still intact.
Who distributes those?

Probabally Granada, it just depends which channel buys the rights and wants to show them.

Either Granada or ITV distribute them, the programmes that were part of Carlton's archive tend to say 'Distributed by Carlton International' on the endcap.

Not quite. The BBC owns the rights to its programmes and can show them on its channels as often as it likes - as long as the contractual stuff: payments to actors & musicians, clearance of archive clips etc is sorted first.
Programmes are also sold via BBC Worldwide to whichever broadcaster wants them - in this country or abroad. However UKTV have first refusal on programmes, so if BBCW releases a recent programme for UK multi-channel release and both UKTV and Paramount want it... then UKTV will get it.
Showing a series on a digital channel or on a foriegn channel doesn't stop the BBC showing it on their own channels. Hence how the same series of Only Fools and Horses or The Good Life can be shown on both BBC1/2 and UK Gold
ITV probably do the same as the BBC when it comes to ITV3.
No, because ITV3 is just another channel owned by ITV.... ITV3 don't need to buy rights to show programmes it already owns
Maybe, but more likely that they just wanted to show both series and so just bought the rights to them. I would have thought that if they'd 'done a deal' Paramount would be showing far more Thames comedy shows.
