Clare Pizey Appointed Creative Director Of BBC Features And Formats Studio

Pizey, currently Controller of Features at Granada, will work in the newly created position as a senior member of the Features and Formats team.
She will be tasked with taking the team in new directions and winning new business.
She has spent the past seven years at Granada, first as Executive Producer at Granada Entertainment and then, from 2005, as Controller of Factual North.
During that time her credits include: 'The Beckhams' World Cup Party'; 'With A Little Help From My Friends'; 'The 100 Greatest And Best Ever Brands'; 'Package Holiday Undercover'; 'Find A Fortune'; 'Challenge Anneka' and co-created American format hit 'Nanny 911'.
Pizey worked at the BBC seven years ago in the Factual department for Anne Morrison, working on programmes including Mysteries With Carol Vorderman and 999.
The Features and Formats Studio based in London, produces a wide range of programmes including established hits like 'Top Gear'; 'What Not to Wear'; 'Watchdog'; 'Rogue Traders' and 'Crimewatch UK'.
The studio also develops new formats, particularly for BBC Three, such as 'Last Man Standing' which will take six westerners to compete in sporting festivals in some of the remotest parts of the world.
Bridget Boseley, Studio Head for Factual and Features, said: "I'm delighted that Clare is coming to join the team. We've worked together in the past and I know she will make a valuable contribution to the studio."
Pizey said: "I'm very much looking forward to coming back to the BBC and working alongside Bridget and her team to take the studio into some new and, I hope, exciting directions."
