Rosemary Ffolkes Gill (7 December 1930 – 22 February 2011) was an English children's television producer connected with Blue Peter, Multi-Coloured Swap Shop and Saturday Superstore.
Her parents had met at Craiglockhart, near Edinburgh, where her mother was then working, the building being used as a military psychiatric hospital for World War I shell-shock patients like her father.
[2] In this period, she first met Edward Barnes, who later managed to gain her secondment to Blue Peter when the producer (later programme editor) Biddy Baxter was called for jury service in 1963.
[1] The series, based around children exchanging their possessions, replaced the previous BBC Saturday morning offering of repeats.
"Rose was the silent shadow drifting behind the cameras, stepping over cables and whispering words of encouragement to a studio crew who all knew that in Swap Shop we were creating something very special".
