They first worked together on <em>Secret Diary of a Call Girl <\/em>and <em>Prisoners\u2019 Wives<\/em> before teaming up on <em>Cuffs<\/em> and Sky One&#8217;s <em>Intergalactic<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Banijay UK CEO Lucinda Hicks noted, \u201cStartups are hard, we all know that, but when you have exceptional talent like Iona at the helm, the decision to just go for it is made easy. She has a rock-solid reputation for delivering popular, returning titles. She understands how to be commercial but won\u2019t compromise on creative ambition. Writers love working with her and so do we.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vrolyk added, \u201cI am enormously excited to be launching Double Dutch at such a dynamic time in our industry. Double Dutch will focus on delivering high-end, character-led original series. Julie Gearey and I already have exciting developments underway, and I can\u2019t wait to build a new slate of projects with the many wonderful writers that I have worked with in the past, as well as developing new relationships too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iona Vrolyk, whose credits include Cuffs for BBC One and The Good Karma Hospital for ITV, is setting up her own label, Double Dutch, with the backing of Banijay UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":290,"featured_media":15825,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[4555,4730,4731],"class_list":["post-15824","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-banijay-uk","tag-double-dutch","tag-iona-vrolyk","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Iona Vrolyk to Lead New Banijay UK Label - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Iona Vrolyk to Lead New Banijay UK Label - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Iona Vrolyk, whose credits include Cuffs for BBC One and The Good Karma Hospital for ITV, is setting up her own label, Double Dutch, with the backing of Banijay UK.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-10-27T14:34:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-10-27T15:36:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/DoubleDutchVrolykAndGearey-Banijay-1021.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"319\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Mansha Daswani\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/\",\"name\":\"Iona Vrolyk to Lead New Banijay UK Label - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-10-27T14:34:30+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-10-27T15:36:52+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/iona-vrolyk-to-lead-new-banijay-uk-label\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Iona Vrolyk to Lead New Banijay UK Label\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/83da304c8bad8bfdb3edd7eb47cfe5ad\",\"name\":\"Mansha Daswani\",\"description\":\"Mansha Daswani is the editor-in-chief and associate publisher of World Screen.
