Remnant Media was a British company which published a variety of pornographic magazines. On 1 March 2004, Richard Desmond's company Northern and Shell sold a package of 45 titles, for about £20m, to Remnant Media in order to help reshape Desmond's image as part of his strategy to bid for The Daily Telegraph. The Bank of Scotland became embroiled in controversy by lending Remnant Media £5 million towards the financing package.
