BBC 3 boss Stuart Murphy has, as expected, announced he is leaving the digital channel he helped found. He will go to a new job as Creative Director at Wife Swap producers RDF.
Confirming his new appointment, Murphy told reporters: "The BBC is a phenomenal place to work, and I'll miss it a lot. I feel very privileged to have led the highly imaginative team who devised, launched, and then ran BBC Three. I feel I'm leaving the channel in fantastic shape, in great hands and on a real high".
Murphy's biggest achievement while at BBC 3 was, arguably, discovering Little Britain. So presumably he'll be tuning in to a lot of Radio 4 comedy programmes in the coming months in order to "discover" his first big hit for RDF.
