Career management

Well done to Janice Hadlow at BBC2 - a good five years at the helm, with a terrific record on history programming - not bad for the comprehensive girl from Kent. Six weeks to go, then a nice little project to see her through to pension, carefully constructed by Danny Cohen.

In her new role as Controller, Special Projects and Seasons, she will develop and originate high impact cross-platform series, seasons and other major television events. Janice will also advise Danny Cohen and the Channel Controllers on broadcast strategy.

Will Danny, champion of diversity, be able to maintain the gender balance of his top team in finding a successor ?  Will Martin Davidson, Janice's devoted hubby (he once described her as his "trina luce che 'n unica stella scintillando" - the triple light which dazzles in a single star), stay on alone on the sixth floor of Broadcasting House as Commissioner of History and Business ?
