Zooming off

It was in January 2012 that Danny Cohen announced that Ana De Moraes had been hired to stoke BBC TV's creative fires, as head of a new unit called Development Central. Two years later, she is heading back to indie-land.

Broadcast can only point to two productions over that period - a pilot called In Case You Missed It and a forthcoming series with punters training to be Roman Gladiators. Since October, Ana's Twitter feed has been largely concerned with plugging her children's book, The Zoomers Handbook - with retweets from tv contacts.

Remember Ana who found me for TV? She's written a lovely children's book: Brilliant debut The #ZoomersHandbook... http://t.co/i35nncWViR
