In the earliest years of the [[21st century]], the BBC were looking for a partnership to allow them to release their video content, whilst reducing their overhead and providing a legal liability shield. Accordingly, they approached the retail distribution giant Woolworths to create 2 entertain. In the terms of the original 2004 incorporation, 2 entertain was a 60/40 partnership between BBC Video and Woolworths. The largest division of the 2 entertain Group became 2 entertain Video, which in turn was created by the merger of VCI Video — then controlled by Woolworth — and BBC Video. As part of the terms of the merger, [[BBC Worldwide]] — BBC Video's parent — achieved the controlling stake in 2 entertain Video. BBC Video nominally retained its corporate identity as a division within 2 entertain Video. | In the earliest years of the [[21st century]], the BBC were looking for a partnership to allow them to release their video content, whilst reducing their overhead and providing a legal liability shield.
