Congratulations to Myfanwy Z Moore, back at the BBC as Head of Comedy, after a sojourn at ITV which brought forth Plebs and Vicious, and regurgitated Birds of a Feather.
She succeeds Mark Freeland, who's appointed her to this new role. She was previously Editor of New Comedy at the BBC - when partner Mobashir Dar, now an independent producer, was Head of New Comedy.
Scorpio with Leo rising and many planets in Libra, Myfanway studied drama at Bristol University, and was part of a comedy night entitled "David Icke and the Orphans of Jesus", alongside David Walliams, Dominik Diamond, Barnaby Power and Jason Bradbury. Myfanwy brought Walliams and Matt Lucas to tv screens for the Paramount Comedy Channel, as Gareth Peas and Danny Mash in Spoofovision, and went on to produce the tv version of Little Britain.
Dominik Diamond is now a morning radio host in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Barnaby Power still mixes comedy sketches and acting as a career. Jason Bradbury hosted the much-missed "Don't Scare The Hare", and, despite that, can still can be seen on C5's Gadget Show.
Walliams offers this review of Myfanwy's student days in his memoir Camp David: "Myf had a very likeable on-stage persona, and was gently amusing as a stand-up, with material like a humorous column you might read in the Guardian".

All this talk of comedy as presented by all these funny people has me simply rolling on the floor and laughing my arm off - or, as they no doubt say on their Tw*tter accounts: ROTFLMAO!
ReplyDeleteEeeh! Isn't life grand when even dear old Walliams seems to have spotted what's wrong?
Now, one question I'd like to ask: All this tork of partners etc., seems a bit funny to me. Is this a normal happenstance at the BBC? *And*, more important - HAS THE DAILY MAIL BEEN INFORMED???
(I certainly hope so!)
