Suzanne's BBC career started in 1991 at GLR, the BBC's station for London. After fighting the urge to throw up on the tube en route to her first reporter assignments, she went on to produce some of the stations most successful music, speech and comedy programmes. The combination of booking hundreds of live music sessions and producing daily live shows with talents such as Fi Glover, Gideon Coe, Mark Lamarr, Danny Baker, Johnny Walker, Phill Jupitus and Peter Curran, meant the early/mid ninties sped by in a happy cycle of panic, relief, caffeine and gigs. Nevertheless, she was made Head of Programmes, responsible for all of the station's music and non-news speech output and managing dozens of presenters and staff.
In 2000 Suzanne left radio to become Editorial Executive on BBC Choice, overseeing entertainment, music and comedy commissioning. Alongside Stuart Murphy, Suzanne laid the foundations, and worked to launch, BBC Three. A move to Entertainment Commissioning in 2002 expanded her entertainment range to take in all four BBC TV channels.
As part of the BBC's Entertainment Commissioning team, Suzanne is responsible for developing and overseeing some of the BBC's most diverse and successful entertainment programmes, collaborating with a wide range of producers, comics, entertainers and indies. Her Executive Editor role has taken in Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week, BAFTA Film Awards, the MOBOs, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross and Glastonbury.
