Katie Taylor, a veteran comedy executive, has been picked to run the BBC’s entertainment department. This is the first time a woman has been chosen for one of the most important jobs in British broadcasting. BBC Entertainment handles all of the BBC’s “shiny floor shows” -- those talent competitions which fill TV schedules these days. It used to be drama executives looked down on light entertainment. After all, it was drama that had the deep pockets. Today it’s talent shows that cost up to £1.5 million ($2.3 million) per episode. The budget ceiling for drama over here is around half that.
