Talkback is a British television production company established in 1981 by comedy duo Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones.
History
Talkback was sold to Pearson Television in 2000. The company merged with Thames Television in 2003 and the combined entity was renamed Talkback Thames. However, on 1 January 2012, Talkback Thames was split into four separate production companies; Boundless, Retort, Talkback and Thames.
On 2 September 2018, FremantleMedia UK was renamed to simply Fremantle UK. This was soon followed by Talkback receiving a new logo after six-and-a-half years of the old one, which was inspired by the original design from 1984 since its launch whilst retaining the green colour the company has been associated with since 2003, when it merged with Thames to form Talkback Thames. It was designed in-house.
