During her five years there, Wootton played a key creative role at Channel 4. She commissioned Channel 4’s highest-rating 8pm origination, Escape to the Chateau, building the series from a short commission into a major TV brand, with the daytime ‘DIY’ spin-off series delivering the highest daytime ratings in a decade.
