L-R: Adnan Ahmed, Alex Moody and Katie Churchill
European pay TV broadcaster Sky has hired execs from the BBC and Tiger Aspect as it looks to bolster its original comedy commissioning.
Adnan Ahmed and Katie Churchill are joining Sky Studios, the satcaster’s production arm, as in-house producers, while Alex Moody has been hired as a commissioning editor for indie-led projects.
Ahmed, who joins from BBC commercial arm BBC Studios, and Churchill, who joins from UK prodco Tiger Aspect, are the first hires for Sky Studios’ in-house development and production team, led by writer and producer Anil Gupta, who joined Sky Studios as creative director for comedy last October.

Sky and the BBC have both announced new appointments in their comedy commissioning and producing teams.

She will replace Alex Moody, who is leaving the BBC to join Sky in the same role this summer. Her commissions for the Corporation included Mackenzie Crook’s Worzel Gummidge, King Gary, Motherland, and Frankie Boyle’s New World Order.
Meanwhile, Sky has also appointed BBC producer Adnan Ahmed and Katie Churchill, from independent production company Tiger Aspect, to work on the programme-making side. Their remit includes identifying writing and performing talent and working to develop scripted comedies.
