MUMBAI: BBC controller seasons & special projects Janice Hadlow has put in her paper at the company.

BBC Television acting director Mark Linsey said, “I would like to thank Janice for her work in developing Civilisations and for her wider contribution to the BBC. Janice has worked for the BBC in a range of roles, including controller of BBC Four – where she grew the channel’s reach, share and reputation - and BBC Two – where she oversaw a resurgence in specialist factual, comedy and drama. She leaves with our best wishes.”

Hadlow added, “I have had a wonderful career at the BBC, where I have been lucky enough to work with very talented people on a host of exciting programmes. I was pleased to be able to see my final project, Civilisations, through a period of development to the point where it is about to begin filming. It is always hard to say goodbye, but this feels the right moment for me to take my leave. I wish it, and all the colleagues with whom I have so enjoyed working, the very best of luck for the future.”

With Hadlow’s departure, the post of controller seasons and special projects will be closed.
