The BBC has tapped Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel and Blankety Blank Commissioning Editor Kalpna Patel-Knight as its Head of Entertainment, thereby completing its major commissioning restructure.
Patel-Knight will take up the newly-created role in September, which was forged after a restructure that saw former Entertainment Director Kate Phillips become Unscripted Director, overseeing all non-scripted genres.
Patel-Knight has been with the BBC for five years, acting as Commissioning Editor on big-budget series including Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel, Blankety Blank and Wim Hof’s Freeze the Fear.
She is a former Head of Entertainment at UK indie Possessed and has exec produced the likes of Celebs Go Dating.
Patel-Knight’s appointment means Phillip’s non-scripted team is complete, coming after a restructure that was driven by Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore’s decision not to appoint anyone to the vacant Director of Factual, Arts and Classical Music role following a lengthy interview process.

Tom Hanks, Gerard Butler, Evan Rachel Wood and Rosamund Pike headline projects being brought onto Berlin’s virtual European Film Market.
Just how large its top-tier offers may be, and the volume of deals, are still open for debate.
“Very compact,” said Constantin’s Martin Moszkowicz of the EFM, which swelled somewhat thanks to a flurry of title announcements on Feb. 4, followed by a steady trickle of big unveils.
“The EFM does not look like it will have the comparable volume of the AFM,” Mister Smith’s David Garrett said. “But there will certainly be enough to whet people’s appetites.”
The market has, in fact, been building for nearly a fortnight. Following the IFC Midnight/Shudder domestic deal at Sundance for “Watcher,” AGC Studios moved forward its virtual EFM buyer screenings of the genre film by two weeks, closing international with Focus Features.

Doctor Strange and Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch has shared details of the unique situation he found himself in as the world first got caught in the grip of the Covid-19 pandemic earlier this year. The 44-year-old actor was reportedly in the midst of filming an ad for a new diving watch on a New Zealand island with a population of just 21 people – and apparently got trapped there.
“There are no shops or any kind of logistical support, so it’s a pretty rare breed of person that lives there that’s really in tune with nature. It’s kind of magical and timeless in that way,” explained Cumberbatch of Nz’s Rakino Island, which – as far as we know – is home to no pengwings.
