Tim Hancock: HOD at WOW in UK
Congratulations to producer Tim Hancock on being promoted to head of development at World of Wonder's London headquarters. Hancock, who joined the company in 2005, told Broadcast Now that he intends to build upon the company's reputation for "partial insanity" as well as expand the production of "high art" programming. Hancock helped develop BBC3's Dart Tarts and Channel 4's The World's Biggest Penis before working on his first production role on thisisaknife, C4's first online-only show that had over 100 episodes. But we figure it was his hair that got him promoted.
Notes Fenton: "An example of this partial insanity is that Tim took his rather dry normal email work address, thancock@worldofwonder.co.uk, and inserted a space after the 4th letter to get...than cock. This has proved very successful in getting the attention of the executives at television networks."
