Ruby Barnhill

Ruby Barnhill is the Assistant Commissioner for 0-6 Animation on the BBC Children’s Commissioning Team. In this role, Ruby supports Commissioning Executives and Editors in both the development and production of animated shows for the BBC’s youngest viewers. This ranges from reviewing scripts and cuts from the edit, providing creative and constructive feedback at each stage of the pipeline, ensuring content is compliant and accessible for the audience and maintaining relationships with suppliers across the world.

Alongside the rest of the 0-6 Commissioning Team, Ruby reviews all new content ideas submitted for commission and acquisition, considering whether a title would be suitable for BBC platforms, the intended audience and if it would complement the existing content catalogue.
