Desai will be charged with finding new ideas for the 9 p.m. slot, both multipart formats and documentaries with the potential to become returnable strands and more focused series and films that capture the concerns and preoccupations of contemporary Britain. In addition, Desai\u2019s remit will include new ideas for 10 p.m., namely those with the potential to develop in the same way as the department&#8217;s successful <em>First Dates<\/em> series.<\/p>\n<p>Desai joins Channel 4 from Shine TV, where her focus was primarily on generating new business and securing commissions from various broadcasters across a range of genres, including documentaries and factual formats. She has previously worked in factual at the BBC, where her credits include <em>Trouble at the Top <\/em>and films in the Wonderland strand.<\/p>\n<p>Mirksy said: &#8220;I am really delighted that Charlotte is joining us. She has a range of impressive program-making credits as well as commissioning experience at Sky and a depth of development experience at factual and factual-entertainment companies. Her job will be all about finding the next generation of high-impact factual TV on Channel 4.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Desai added: \u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to collaborating with Nick, his talented team and independent producers to help develop and shape bold new ideas with broad appeal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Charlotte Desai has been named documentaries commissioning editor at the U.K.\u2019s Channel 4.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":10274,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[289],"class_list":["post-10273","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-channel-4","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
