Jenny Thompson
Producer & Writer, BBC Studios
Ones to Watch 2024
Jenny is a scripted drama producer, story producer and writer from Wales. She is an experienced producer in medical drama, having steered episodes from commission to delivery and she is known for her collaborative and inclusive leadership. Jenny has a slate of writers with whom she is working and spends her days either inside reading scripts or outside observing stuntwomen choreograph attack-by-crowbar. Either is brilliant.
Beyond work Jenny is passionate about breaking running PBs, reading the annual Booker shortlist and holidaying in places without toilet facilities.
Jenny is whip smart, hip and intellectual with a genius for creating contemporary characters, she is gathering an enviable balance of editorial and production experience.
