2 Entertain (officially rendered 2|entertain) is a British video and music publisher, formed by the merger of BBC Video and Video Collection International in 2004.

The company is made up of two companies – 2 Entertain Video and Demon Music Group. A third company, Banana Split Productions, was sold to its MD Laura Traill in April 2010.^{[citation needed]}

In April 2008 2 Entertain was awarded a Queen's Award for Enterprise.

As of 2012 2entertain Ltd has been full integrated into BBC Worldwide’s Consumer Products division. 2entertain label will remain for non BBC products.

As of 2010 BBC Worldwide owns the whole company. At the time of Woolworths Group entering administration BBC Worldwide owned 60% of the company, while Woolworths Group owned 40%. The entry into administration of Woolworth's retail and distribution businesses in 2008 did not affect 2 Entertain, though the company entered into talks to sell its 40% share to BBC Worldwide. On 21 December 2008 The Daily Telegraph reported that the BBC had offered £40 million for the 40% stake in 2 entertain, and that the board of Woolworths agreed that BBC Worldwide should negotiate on the purchase direct with its bankers, GMAC and Burdale, rather than through the board. However The Daily Telegraph noted that a month previously the BBC had offered £110m for the 40% stake. In March 2010 BBC Worldwide announced that they had bought the remainder of the company for £17 million.

David Tennant (born David John McDonald; 18 April 1971) is a Scottish actor. In addition to his work in theatre, including a widely praised Hamlet, Tennant is best known for his role as the tenth incarnation of the Doctor in Doctor Who, along with the title role in the TV serial Casanova (2005) and as Barty Crouch, Jr., in the film Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005).

Tennant was born in Bathgate, West Lothian, Scotland, the son of Essdale Helen (née McLeod) and The Rev. Alexander McDonald (known to family and friends as Sandy McDonald). He grew up with his brother Blair and sister Karen in Ralston, Renfrewshire, where his father was the local Church of Scotland minister. Tennant's maternal great-grandparents, William and Agnes Blair, were staunch Protestants from Derry in Ulster, the northern province of Ireland, and were among the signatories of the Ulster Covenant in 1912; William was a member of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland. Tennant's maternal grandfather, footballer Archie McLeod, met William and Agnes's daughter Nellie while playing for Derry City.

John Scot Barrowman (born March 11, 1967) is a Scottish–American actor, singer, dancer, musical theatre performer, writer and television personality.

Since his debut in professional theatre, Barrowman has played lead roles in various musicals both in the West End and on Broadway, including Miss Saigon, The Phantom of the Opera, Sunset Boulevard and Matador. After appearing in Sam Mendes' production of The Fix, he was nominated for the 1998 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actor in a Musical and, in the early 2000s, returned to the role of Billy Crocker in the revival of Anything Goes. His most recent West End credit was in the 2009 production of La Cage aux Folles.
