Bodyguard and Line of Duty producer Priscilla Parish is to become the head of drama at the BBC’s commercial production arm BBC Studios.
Parish will take up the newly created role in November, joining from World Productions where she was an executive producer and head of development.
Parish will report to Ralph Lee, the director of content at BBC Studios, overseeing a slate of shows that includes Doctor Who and Amazon’s Good Omens.

Parish will be responsible for all of BBC Studios’ national and regional drama chiefs. For example, the company has a big presence in Cardiff, where Simon Winstone runs shows like Doctor Who and Casualty.
