hi (and sorry if I'm in the wrong forum),
I've wanting to get hold of some Harry Worth stuff on DVD. Now, as I'm sure you are aware, nothing has been released yet (if ever) other than a couple of episodes on VHS.
I have "My Name Is Harry Worth" which is a shoddy recording from UKGold some years ago. I also remember Granada Plus repeating some episodes of a different HW series which I didn't actually tape. Anyway, my point, they are still in existance.
So, short of asking here if anyone knows how to get a copy, I wondered if anyone would know who now owns the originals? I think they were produced by Thames Television. Does this automatically mean ITV Productions will now have them? I'm really just wanting to know who would be best to Email with regards to a DVD release.
Thank you.
T.

I had a quick look around and found nothing but a few referances here and there. You're best waiting for Aaron (site admin) to reply he'll know more than me on whether this is released and if not, if it will be released in the future.
And welcome to the forum

Yes, hello indeed, welcome to the site.
Well. Erm. Most of his stuff seems to have been for the BBC. So you'd need to contact BBC Worldwide about that really, with 2 entertain (their DVD distribution arm) as second. Only three shows, Thirty Minutes Worth, My Name is Harry Worth, and How's Your Father? were on ITV, being Thames, Thames, and Yorkshire respectively.
For the Thames shows, you'll need to contact talkbackThames, and Yorkshire are now part of ITV plc, so they're the first point of call for How's Your Father?. Beyond that, Network seem to handle ITV's "classic" output almost exclusively (particularly Thames), so they'd be next.
Hope that that is of some help.
