I\u2019m excited to see what projects are nurtured and born out of Glasgow over the next few years under her wing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ramage Rooney added: \u201cI\u2019m so excited to be back on home turf after more than two decades in LA and London. Scotland is a brilliant place for ambitious TV creatives to live and collaborate and, with so much universal commitment to the nation\u2019s capability and output, I couldn\u2019t resist the challenge to scale BBC Studios\u2019 fact-ent business north of the border.
