In a flurry of last-minute deal-making in time for Cannes, the BBC is understood to have appointed Mark Thompson to the newly-merged position of head of film and single drama and has signed a non-exclusive production agreement with outgoing head of films Mark Shivas.
Shivas is understood to have signed a non-exclusive position with the BBC that will permit him to launch his own independent production company while continuing to work on films he has been developing as BBC head of films.
Both Shivas and Thompson, who became acting head of BBC single drama when George Faber left the BBC earlier this year, are understood to have been competing for the merged post of BBC head of films and single drama, but Thompson's corporate style may have won him the position.

 Too Much To Dream: The Glamour of Evil
When even British teevee critics diss your show on the grounds that it was too kind to traitors you've got to realize you've slipped up somewhere, but the executive producer, one Mark Shivas, continues to justify the whitewashing.
Shivas is either a liar, or a moron.
Assuming Shivas merely failed to note the date MacLean went over, his failure to do so - and to call out MacLean's lame rationalization - is inexcusably negligent.

 CAIN: Lance Pettitt (2000) 'Television drama and the Troubles', from Screening Ireland: Film and television ...
The economic and political contexts for TV production altered during the 1980s and, in a decisive initiative to make the corporation a leading producer of films, the BBC appointed Mark Shivas as head of drama in 1988, indicating that 'there was indeed a period of revolutionary change in the two or three years around 1990’.
This was a kind of television film forerunner to Michael Collins, which marked the seventieth anniversary of the treaty that ended the Anglo-Irish war in 1921.
While most drama has followed the terrain of the Troubles, marking out a representational middle-ground, in a few cases drama has challenged viewers’ minds by imagining events that could not be countenanced by factual television.

But it is also a journey in which a director/magician goes deeper and deeper into the core of the initial attraction to magic itself, in which bewitchment often gives itself over to the most voluptuous forms of enchantment or, conversely, to states of nightmare.
