Acclaimed television producer Jane Tranter receives honorary degree from USW

Описание: Critically acclaimed television producer Jane Tranter has been awarded an Honorary Fellowship from the University of South Wales this week.

Jane, who co-founded the Cardiff-based production company Bad Wolf, received the honorary award at a graduation ceremony at the International Convention Centre Wales (ICC Wales) on Wednesday 11 January.

Considered to be one of the industry’s most respected and celebrated television executives and a recipient of the BAFTA Special Award for her contribution to television, Jane previously served as the BBC’s Head of Fiction and was Executive Vice-President for Programming and Production at BBC Worldwide.

In 2005, she oversaw the hugely popular revival - and relocation to Cardiff - of Doctor Who. In 2015, she co-founded Cardiff-based production company Bad Wolf with Welsh television producer Julie Gardner, and it is now the largest UK production company outside of London, producing series such as BAFTA award-winning His Dark Materials and the critically acclaimed Sky series I Hate Suzie.

In 2018, Jane also founded Screen Alliance Wales – a unique, not-for-profit company based in Cardiff’s Wolf Studios that acts as a gateway between the film and TV industry and its workforce, putting education and training at the heart of TV production, and taking training out into schools, colleges and communities across Wales.
