And so, the glorious diversity of BBC Commissioners grows apace. Director of Content Kate Phillips has selected Fiona Campbell (Dominican College, Belfast and Jesus College, Cambridge) as her Director of Factual. And there's a return to the BBC fold for Ed Havard (Sherborne and Oxford), who started his career as a researcher for Shaun Woodward MP, spent time with Newsnight and the Six O'Clock News, under the tutelage of Jay Hunt, and rose to be the youngest editor, at 29, of Question Time. He becomes Director of Entertainment.
Jay found a berth for Ed alongside her at C4 when he refused to move to Scotland with Question Time. He's most recently been with NBC Universal, where he led their side of the partnership with the BBC developing The Traitors, produced by Studio Lambert.
