Channel 4
Channel 4’s Head of Comedy, Fiona McDermott, has announced the appointment of Joe Hullait as Commissioning Executive. He will join the channel this month.
Three comedians are to spend a night having fun and laughs in a toy shop as part of Channel 4's Christmas schedule.
One Night In…Hamleys sees three of the nation’s best-loved comedians locked overnight in world-famous toy shop Hamleys on London’s Regent Street. With no security guards or ‘grown-ups’ there to hamper the fun, the comics can run wild for the night and do all the things they dreamed of doing in a toy shop when they were kids.
Channel Four's Factual Entertainment department has revealed some of its comedy-related seasonal programmes to be broadcast over the Christmas period.
Transmission dates are still to be confirmed but the programmes as as follows.
The Inbetweeners 10th Birthday Party
The ultimate celebration of everyone’s favourite hapless sixth-formers, as Channel 4 marks a decade since The Inbetweeners hit our screens.
Jon Petrie has been appointed as Commissioning Editor for Comedy at Channel 4. He will join the channel early in 2019.
Fiona McDermott, Head of Comedy at Channel 4, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Jon to the team. He’s rightly earned a reputation as a real craftsman of original British comedy, from People Just Do Nothing to Stath Lets Flats. He has a proven eye for distinct young comedy talent and we can’t wait to see what he brings at a time when comedy has never been stronger for Channel 4.”
Channel 4’s Director of Programmes Ian Katz has appointed Karl Warner as the new Controller of E4.
In the newly created role Karl will lead the creative vision for E4 and commissioning for the youth channel brand. He will report directly to Ian Katz and work in collaboration with all the genre commissioning, programme acquisition and scheduling teams.
The Great Christmas Bake Off/The Great Festive Bake Off
It’s a time for spices, sweets and tasty baked treats as Prue Leith, Paul Hollywood, Noel Fielding and Sandi Toksvig bring some holiday cheer to The Great British Bake Off in two festive episodes. In each episode four former bakers from previous series will return to the tent to go head to head in three seasonal challenges to find out who will top the tree as Star Baker.
