Oh hey, Chinny - how is it that ITV make University Challenge?
I believe when it came back, as was common practice the BBC invited independent contractors to produce it. Granada ended up producing it. I expect its now branded as ITV Studios or an ITV production?
Around the same time as Uni Challenge came back, Granada produced Mrs Merton also for the BBC.
Not unusual. In fact its not unusual for ITV studio shows to be shot at TV Centre and BBC shows to be shot down at what was LWT either.
Not forgetting when Thames lost their franchise, both This Is Your Life and Men Behaving Badly swapped channels to the BBC. Thames still produced them but they sold them to the BBC instead.
