Cheetah Television (UK)

Background
Cheetah Television (known as Endemol UK Productions until 2006) was a general entertainment/factual subsidiary of Endemol that was created in 2001 following the purchase of Bazal Productions by Endemol.

It also had a subsidiary based in the Midlands, called Endemol UK Productions Midlands, and in 2004, a subsidiary based in Bristol called Cheetah Television West (formerly Endemol West) was opened up following the success of Brainteaser on Five.

It merged with Brighter Pictures in 2009 to form Remarkable Television.

(2001?-2009)
Nicknames: "The Endemol Eye", "Big Brother is Watching You"

Logo: Just the standard Endemol logo from the time period, with the appropriate suffix below reading "endemol uk productions".

Variants:
 * Shows produced by the Endemol Midlands and Endemol West subsidiaries would have the suffix "endemol u.k. productions midlands" or "endemol west" below the logo.
 * On The Salon, "endemol uk productions" and a small wordless Channel 4 logo next to it in white on a flashy aquamarine background. At the bottom right is a copyright date.
 * On Brainteaser, the logo is still and seen on the right, while the Five logo animates on the left.
 * On YouTube uploads of clips of the UK version of Deal or No Deal, the logo is much smaller and wordless, with "endemol u.k. productions", the Deal or No Deal logo, and a copyright date below.

FX/SFX: Same as the Endemol logo.

Music/Sounds: Same as the Endemol logo.

Availability:
 * The standard logo appeared on a majority of British Endemol productions such as episodes of Big Brother and Ready Steady Cook from the time period, replacing Bazal's logo. It also appeared on the short-lived series The Salon, and on very early episodes of the long-forgotten game show Brainteaser.
 * It was also used on several licensed games including Deal or No Deal: The Banker is Back! for the Wii, and on YouTube uploads.
 * The "Midlands” appeared on the short-lived game show Beat the Nation, Brainteaser (from early-2003 until mid-2004), alongside very early episodes of its sister show Memory Bank.
 * The “West” version appeared on Brainteaser episodes until around mid-2006 and on later episodes of Memory Bank before its cancellation. It also appeared on the first season of the UK version of Deal or No Deal and on the first series of Fool Around With....

Editor's Note: None.
