Planet 24 was a television production company. It produced ''The Big Breakfast'' and ''The Word''. It had an animation division called Impossible TV. Bob Geldof and Tony Boland (television producer) founded Planet Pictures which merged with 24 Hour Productions, headed by Charlie Parsons and Waheed, later Lord Alli. The company was bought by Carlton Communications in 1999 and eventually merged with Carlton Productions, of which Lord Alli became managing director. Planet 24 also developed the original concept for ''Survivor'', which was initially called ''Castaway''. Geldof and Parsons met with the BBC to pitch the program as a reality-competition show. However, the BBC, which was intrigued by the concept, instead developed its own competing documentary-style show, ''Castaway 2000''. As a result, Planet 24 had to change the title, and the show was originally produced as ''Expedition Robinson'' in Sweden in 1997 before its U.S. success in 2000. When Geldof, Parsons and Lord Alli sold Planet 24 to Carlton, they retained the rights to this program by transferring them to a new company named Castaway Television Productions. ITV now own Planet 24, and the company has virtually closed as all Planet 24 productions, have ceased. ==Filmography== *''Can You Pull…?''
