Everything goes in circles if you've been around long enough.
Seriously though, ITV and Disney have had a very long working relationship with each other. I guess most people are too young here to remember that "The Wonderful World of Disney" used to be a prominent part of ITV's schedule and Disney has been a direct shareholder in ITV companies from the past.

I know. But just wait and see what happens in the future. ITV will not stay independent, in my opinion. If not Disney, then BT or someone else.
And before anyone says that sounds crazy, one of our major broadcasters (Ch5) is already owned by one of the Hollywood majors and I think, but not sure, that GMTV is one third owned by Disney still.
(Edit: Just checked and Disney sold its GMTV stake to ITV in 2009)
