Expectation Factual Appoints Head of Development

Expectation Factual has appointed Maverick TV alum Emily Dollman as head of development, a newly created role.

Dollman previously served as head of development at Maverick TV for three years and was responsible for developing commissions such as Inside the Ritz for ITV, Escape for Channel 4, Tried and Tasted for Channel 4 and Bizarre ER for E4. Her production experience includes working on programs such as The Apprentice, The Voice, The Audience and The Young Ones.

Expectation Factual’s creative director for factual and factual drama, Colin Barr, said: “Emily has all the cross-genre instincts and abilities that a company like Expectation needs. She’s as comfortable with concept as she is editorial and her energy and ambition are the perfect fit. We’re lucky to have her.”

Dollman added: “I am incredibly excited by the opportunity to be working with such amazingly talented people as Colin, Amy, Peter and Tim and the rest of the Expectation team. I am really looking forward to creating a slate of bold and exciting factual formats.”
