Banijay Appoints Factual Drama Chief
Banijay has appointed Richard Bond from Dragonfly as Factual Drama head after working on 'Then Barbara Met Alan'
After eight years running Eva Longoria: Searching for Spain producer Dragonfly, Richard Bond is leaving the indie but remaining in the Banijay stable as Creative Director, Factual Drama. The move comes with factual dramas like Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Adolescence and Toxic Town having lit up the small screen of late, despite a funding crisis in UK scripted. Bond added: “Audiences are increasingly hungry for factual drama, so having already had the pleasure of working with incredible writers like Jack Thorne, Genevieve Barr and Ben Chanan in this genre, the prospect of collaborating with Banijay’s best-in-class scripted labels to bring more of these projects to fruition is a dream come true.”
