 The short presence of two successive Archers editors in the job led to concerns that there might be a trend of radio drama editing being seen as "training ground" for higher-paid positions in TV.Alison Hindell, the BBC's head of Audio Drama until October 2018, took over as acting editor before and after Kennair-Jones's time in charge.She effectively swapped with Jeremy Howe when she succeeded him as the BBC's commissioning editor for drama and fiction and he started as editor of the Archers in late August 2018.
