Three heads are better..

Ah, Delivering Quality First in BBC Drama: replace Kate Harwood, the Head of Drama who left in March to revive Euston Films, with three people.

Hilary Salmon will be based in London, Hilary Martin in Salford, and a third person will join them, provided the headhunters can find another Hilary.

"Despite the creation of additional roles, the [Ben] Stephenson and Mark Freeland (controller of fiction and entertainment) devised restructure is not expected to increase overall headcount", says staff website Ariel.

But I'll take a small wager the three salaries together outstrip Ms Harwood's £209k package,,,,

  • Ms Salmon features in a BBC training video from 2013, on the topic of producing clear sound in tv drama, presumably unwatched by the people who made Jamaica Inn and Quirke.
