Actually it isn't, although Fremantle has had the option for it at various points in history and have optioned it for this. I believe it still owned by the family of the man who created it. This is why the current American version isn't made by Fremantle and the Bill Bailey pilot wasn't either.
Not surprised Name that Tune is there as that's a Fremantle format.

And that graphic there confirms none of the other five formats are being removed to make way. I guess they haven't decided to revive any of them as their own show yet then, as happened with Gameshow Marathon (which removed Family Fortunes for it's second series because the Vernon Kay version had been commissioned).
Name That Tune will be added to the list of shows for the new series. Think it is the only new addition though.

Who made the Bill Bailey pilot?

Well that's an odd pairing.

IIRC it was September Films who made Celebrity Squares.

They did Name That Tune as part of the second series of Gameshow Marathon, and it was probably one of the more successful episodes of that series, it was very nicely done.
For many of the audience, Take Your Pick and Strike It Lucky are ancient history, they may have had repeats on Challenge but that's all.
I don’t think this will do as well as the rest of the series. It’s not a show many under 40 will remember as apart from a brief reboot in the early Channel 5 days, it hasn’t been seen since the late 80s and I don’t think it’s been repeated much either.
