I have undertaken a major rewrite of the text to bring it into line with several other pages dealing with linked related matters that I have been working on. I have also become aware of the fact that whoever set up a lot of these entertainment related pages simply lifted copy from other Internet sites, so that several web sites all contained IDENTICAL material. The several "Rank" related entries now no longer copies since they have ORGIGINAL text, format and researched material that I have contributed to Wikipedia, thereby avoiding any further or future copyright problems.

[edit] Rank Arena
Why is Rank Arena directed to this page? Are the two related? As far as I know Rank Arena is a television manufacturer.
[edit] RHM or Rank Hovis
The business was started by Arthur J Ranks father, and was inherited upon his death. Therefore, it cannot be considered to be part of the 'modern' Rank empire in the same way that the cinematic and subsequently aquired businesses are, seeming to have run outside of the Rank Organisation / Rank Group structure.
[edit] Carlton Television
London franchise holder Carlton TV and Carlton Communications were confused by a previous writer. Carlton Communications, the parent company who purchased the Rank Film Distribution library of classic filsm, is part of Granada International, a division of Granada Media, merger partner to the recently formed ITV plc.
