Hollick has been creative\u00a0director of RED since 2013, running the development team and overseeing its international and domestic slates, including dramas such as <em>Happy Valley<\/em>, <em>Cucumber<\/em> by Russell T Davies and his anthology series <em>Banana<\/em>, and <em>Trust Me<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Ian Katz, Channel 4\u2019s director of programs, said: \u201cCaroline has a hugely exciting vision for Channel 4 drama and a formidable record working with, and often discovering, some of the best TV writers in the country. I\u2019m confident she will make Channel 4 the most writer-friendly broadcaster and build on Channel 4\u2019s reputation as the place to find truly original drama with something to say.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hollick added: \u201cI\u2019ve had an amazing time at RED, the home of so many ground-breaking dramas, working with the most incredible colleagues.
