It took quite a package to ease Shane Allen out of BBC Comedy commissioning, so plenty is riding on Content supremo Charlotte Moore's new appointment. I suspect Jon Petrie will shortly amend his brief Twitter bio, which currently starts "Clammy handed telly wanker".
Since August, Petrie has been working for Charlie Brooker's production company Broke & Bones, which has substantial Netflix funding. Before that he was a commissioner at Channel 4, hired by Ian Katz, having joined from Roughcut Television, where he produced People Just Do Nothing.
Jon, 38 (BA Hons, Advertising, Bournemouth University) is married to comedienne Holly Walsh; his brother is former CBBC presenter Ed Petrie.
