I have just emailed as well, hopefully if the requests "do not go away", they might eventually realise that people really do want the show back and not just a "community" of fans - As such I've not mentioned here, or being a fan of FF as that makes me too easy to dismiss as "just another fan".
Coming from Manchester, I know quite a bit about Granada and how it took over Yorkshire TV (and so acquired FF I believe)? They used to have their own addresses for programme requests, especially in the earlier days of satellite TV, so I tried to do a bit of researching, but the very first thing I found was this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granada_Ltd.Granada and one of the London ITV companies (I think it was Carlton - I had too many problems to deal with at the time to keep an eye on what was going on at the time), but they bought up almost all the ITV regions as they were so rich, no-one else could compete with their bids.
So from the Wikipedia article, it seems like when Granada acquired Carlton as well, it BECAME ITV as it finally had bought out every English channel! I don't think they have Scottish TV channels, but might have Wales as I think that merged with Bristol didn't it? I'm not sure about the Northern Irish ITV station, I don't think they got that yet though either? Presumably they then "spun off" Granada Ltd. to run ITV then.
So it seems that contacting "Granada" as the rights holder to FF might be pointless, as it would seem likely to just be referred to the ITV address that Jane so kindly posted right back at the start of this thread...
I will let you know if I get any sort of reply back.
Best wishes,
