Creativity in action

How many people does it take to conceive, commission and produce a six-part tv show about pet dogs ?

Credited in the BBC release about "Ronnie's Pedigree Pals" (82-year-old comedian Ronnie Corbett shows just how potty the Great British public is about pets) are Alison Kirkham, BBC Commissioning Editor for Factual Features and Formats, Tom Edwards, BBC Commissioning Executive, Plum Pictures Executive Producers Will Daws and Stuart Cabb, and Series Producer Mark Jones. Presumably Danny Cohen or Charlotte Moore "greenlit", as the jargon goes.

It had better be good. Alison says "“It is fantastic to be able to welcome a true national treasure, Ronnie Corbett, back to BBC One. Ronnie combined with one of Britain's favourite passions, pets, feels like a real treat.” Tom says “It’s great to have Ronnie back on BBC One. And great to have him as our guide as we enter this entertaining, surprising and often jaw-dropping world of British owners and their pets."
