Alice Ramsey has been announced as the Assistant Commissioner for Drama, with a focus on the north of England. Alice was previously a Development Producer at BBC Writersroom in Salford managing Script Room, the Writers' Access Group and Northern Voices. She joined the BBC from BFI NETWORK in Summer 2019.

In this new role Alice will work across both Drama Commissioning and the BBC Writersroom to identify and develop writing talent and support the development and production of the drama slate with a specific focus on the North of England.

This is the first of four new assistant commissioning roles to lead on new writer development and support the existing commissioning editors for each of the Nations who sit within the drama team.
