Celador

This article is about the television production company. For the metal band, see Cellador.

Celador is an independent production company formed in 1983. It has produced a number of popular light entertainment shows, but is probably best known for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

The chair is Paul Smith, and Jasper Carrott owns a substantial share in the company.

In 2006, Celador offered the rights and UK programme library of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? for sale, with a view toward the eventual sale of other parts of the business.

The company now has several strands:
