Liza Marshall, the former Channel 4 head of drama now heading up Tony and Ridley Scott's British wing Scott Free UK, has appointed two new creative types, presumably as part of the company's commitment to produce more in the UK and Europe.

Former Tricycle Theatre literary manager/BBC script editor Surian Fletcher-Jones, and Jack Arbuthnot, recently development editor at BBC Films, will develop programmes for UK TV.

Marshall says: "Jack and Surian are ambitious, talented executives who are very popular with writers. Between them, they have great deal of experience of the industry and represent the dynamic and fresh approach we are looking to take with our production and development activity in the UK across feature filmmaking and television drama. They will be an invaluable addition to the Scott Free team".
