Chief Executive of the Academy
elcome to the House of Fraser British Academy Television Awards, BAFTA’s annual celebration of the very best programmes and extraordinary performances as seen on British screens in 2014. A fortnight on from the Television Craft Awards, we look to programmes as a whole: to the stories that shocked, surprised and entertained us, and to the performances that grabbed our attention and never let go. Jon Snow, the journalist and presenter whose rigorous approach to news and current affairs defines an incredible career, receives BAFTA’s highest honour, the Academy Fellowship, and Jeff Pope, the brilliant writer and producer, receives tonight’s Special Award. My thanks to the Television Committee, led by Andrew Newman and Jane Lush; to Anne Morrison and John Willis, Chair and Deputy Chair of the Academy respectively; to the fantastic BAFTA staff; the juries; our wonderful host Graham Norton; and to House of Fraser and all our partners who support us and believe in what we do. Congratulations to all our nominees. Have a wonderful evening.
Anne Morrison Chair of the Academy
ongratulations to all of this evening’s nominees. By highlighting the achievements of the talented people who make our television so well respected across the world, we aim to inspire others to raise their sights. BAFTA is the leading UK charity supporting, developing and promoting the moving image, and we want to help discover the award winners of tomorrow. Our year-round programme of events – which include masterclasses, scholarships, our online learning channel, BAFTA Guru, and much more – are designed to help people enter, survive, progress and excel in what can be an opaque and competitive industry. From our new A Life in Television strand to our professional development network, BAFTA Crew, and flagship emerging talent scheme, Breakthrough Brits, we are here to help. The latter entered its third successive year with an open call for nominations on 1 April – if you know someone who is deserving of this honour, please let us know. BAFTA enables the industry to give something back, all year round.

— Sponsor’s Message
his is our third year working with BAFTA and our first as title sponsor to the British Academy Television Awards. BAFTA is synonymous with excellence and this event celebrates and recognises all that is great about British television. At House of Fraser, we too pride ourselves with rewarding excellence and striving for the best. We are proud to be Britain’s premium department store of choice and our aim is to make every customer feel like a VIP. Respecting each other and working as one team is one of our core business values. It’s important to remember that in the realms of both television and retail there are a huge number of extremely talented and hardworking individuals working ‘backstage’ to make the magic happen. It’s not just the recognisable faces on screen, or the personal stylists in a store, that make an experience so special, but everyone who has worked together as a ‘team’ from a project’s inception right through to its completion. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of the nominees this evening and wish them the best of luck. To be nominated for an award is a fantastic achievement and, whatever the result this evening, I hope that everyone has a wonderful night.

s presenter of Channel 4 News since 1989, Jon Snow, at 67, has the youngest news audience in UK television. So what’s his secret? “I’m willing to do absolutely anything,” he says, holding up his hands in a surrender gesture, framing one of his signature colourful ties. “I don’t think there’s anything I’ve ever turned down. If you are really up for anything, your rewards come. I even smoked skunk. It was a horrible experience. If I’d known, I probably wouldn’t have done it.” It’s at times like this – receiving a high honour from your industry peers – that people start asking the venerable figure how they feel about receiving such recognition. Snow’s response is a reflection of his wide-eyed, enthusiastic approach to news. “To be absolutely honest, my first reaction was maybe they got the wrong Snow,” he laughs. “There are several to choose from. But I’m incredibly honoured, especially when you look at the cast of others who have been given the
Fellowship. I don’t rank myself among them. I regard myself as a reporter more than anything else. To make a mark on a channel that was deliberately set up to be different is quite a nice thing to have done. I have a great sense of adventure and I’m not sure that I’m easily confined.” History backs this up. Having been “thrown out” of university for taking part in an antiapartheid demonstration, Snow’s route to Channel 4 was unorthodox to say the least. “I ended up working in a day centre for homeless and vulnerable teenagers,” he explains. “I only meant to work there for a few months, but it was a very, very challenging job at a time when there was a lot of suffering on the streets of London, in the early 70s, so it was difficult not to carry on. I began to write about what I was seeing, in The Guardian, The New Statesman, and was asked to do interviews about drugs and homelessness. I began to realise I was better at talking about it than doing it.” Then, by what he calls “sheer luck”, he joined the first legalised commercial radio station, LBC

– and it was kismet. “I took to it like a duck to water, I really loved it,” he says, smiling. “It was the only 24-hour news service of any description. It was in that period when the IRA were bombing their way across London – I was on a bike, passing the man from the Express in a taxi stuck in a traffic jam, often speeding underneath police tapes because they didn’t have time to stop you. We worked off enormous Motorola walkie-talkies that only worked if you got line of sight to a tall building with an aerial on top. We were really breaking news all the time. Then I got an offer from ITN. I turned it down at first because my cousin Peter Snow was there and I thought it would look like nepotism. I went to see the editor at LBC thinking that he would say that I must stay, but he said, ‘You’re absolutely mad – you’ve gotta go at once!’ That was in 1976.” Snow has been at ITN ever since – Channel 4 News is produced by the commercial broadcaster – and considers himself fortunate that he found a home there. “People ask if it was my ambition to be a journalist, but it wasn’t,” he says. “But as soon as I became a journalist I realised it was what I had always wanted to do. To go to interesting places and meet interesting people is an amazing thing. And to be paid for it, unimaginable. That you could end up getting a BAFTA Fellowship for it is beyond any kind of explanation. I think I bring energy and excitement. I want to find the truth. That’s an adventure – it’s such a complex world now.” It took Snow nearly six years to truly feel comfortable working in television, and he is crystal clear about which assignment finally tipped the scales.

“I think I bring energy and excitement. I want to find the truth. That’s an adventure – it’s such a complex world now.”
“El Salvador in 1982,” he says. “We found ourselves virtually the only journalists in the country, with appalling things happening around us – death squads, peasants being beheaded at the roadside, bodies left outside our hotel. Nobody knew about it. That’s when I found my feet. It was exhilarating – you got a really comprehensive view of what was happening and you were able to make something of it. It made a real difference and led to change.” When asked if there is any hot spot he’d particularly like to report from today, Snow doesn’t hesitate: “Syria. Above and beyond everything else. But it’s an incredibly hard, dangerous place to work. And I’ve got a few years left before I particularly want to lose my life.” Then he pauses, and his eyes twinkle. “I’d also love to interview David Bowie. He’s one of the most interesting and influential rock figures ever, and yet he never talks. It would be fascinating to find out what really makes him tick. It’s not all about war.” There’s no danger of hanging up the ties and clearing out his news desk anytime soon. He sighs. “There’s just still so much to be done.” Then another smile. “I tell you what, I’ll go on as long as I can still cycle into work. If you can’t cycle into work anymore you probably shouldn’t still be working.” Doubtless enthusiasm alone will keep those pedals turning for a long time to come. It’s that same infectious vivacity that bubbles up when asked what advice he would give to anyone thinking about becoming a journalist today. “Go for it, in every possible dimension,” he says. “Blog, have a voice on Twitter and Facebook, establish a go-to place for some particular reason.

There’s no money in the front end, but at the back end there is, if you can get yourself established. Accept that you may have to work in a pub alongside in the meantime. But it is one of those jobs that if you really want to do it, you can. It’s a sensational job. It’s getting better and better. When I first started it could take four days to get a story on air, whereas now it takes nanoseconds. “This is the golden age of journalism, without question. Access to information and people through mobile telephony is so much better. Thirty years ago, if you couldn’t meet the person the likelihood of talking to them was nil. What you got was a vivid account of a very small section of the story. Now you can flesh the story out, include other people and information that you can’t actually see or witness yourself. The variety is absolute. You arrive in the morning and have no idea what you’ll be doing that day. There’s an exhilaration conjured by events and the constant cascade of different people to talk to. No two days are ever the same.” We’re convinced. Now where’s that bicycle?

Cilla (2014)
his year’s BAFTA Special Award recipient spends much of his time immersed in the lives of notorious killers, the Moors Murderers, Fred West and the Yorkshire Ripper among them. Jeff Pope’s gallery of rogues also includes Lord Lucan and Ronnie Biggs, but the writer/producer who specialises in real-life dramas has a softer side, which found an outlet in last year’s acclaimed ITV drama, Cilla. “I feel very proud of the body of work I’ve built up and honoured that it’s being recognised. I’ve decided I’m going to embrace it, rather than submerging myself under a welter of humility,” he says. Thirty-odd years ago, Pope was working on the news and sports desks of the Ealing Gazette, harbouring ambitions of a career on a Fleet Street
broadsheet when he was seduced by television. An ad for a researcher on London Weekend Television magazine programme The Six O’Clock Show aroused his interest; he applied, landed the job and was hooked. It was 1983 and he found himself working with established presenters such as Michael Aspel, as well as a rising talent in the shape of Danny Baker. “I learned how to work with raw material and shape it into stories,” he recalls. “It was an extension of what I had been doing as a journalist and what I would go on to do writing screenplays. It was a fantastic grounding.” Pope worked in current affairs on series such as Crime Monthly, presented by Paul Ross. His first drama was 1992’s Fool’s Gold: The Story of the Brink’s-Mat Robbery, starring Sean Bean as the leader of the gang behind the notorious Heathrow heist. “Crime was my bridge from current affairs

to drama,” says Pope, who produced and co-wrote the ITV film with Terry Winsor. “Terry taught me a lot and was a big influence in the early part of my career. He was a generous guy and a very talented writer and director.” Collaborations have been a feature of Pope’s career. He worked with Winsor again on Essex Boys, a movie based on the murder of three drug dealers. The ITV shows Bob Martin and Northern Lights, two rare forays into fiction, and Pierrepoint: The Last Hangman, were penned with Bob Mills. Actress Sheridan Smith has appeared in three Pope series, taking the title roles in Mrs Biggs, as the wife of the Great Train Robber, for which she won a BAFTA; Cilla, based on the early life and career of last year’s Special Award recipient, Cilla Black; and playing the murdered wife in The Widower. Neil McKay is Pope’s most signif icant collaborator. As producer to McKay’s writer, Pope enjoyed an unbroken run of success that began with This is Personal: The Hunt for the Yorkshire Ripper and continued with, among others, the BAFTA-winning See No Evil: The Moors Murders and Appropriate Adult about serial killers Fred and Rose West. The latter nabbed BAFTA performance awards for its leads, Dominic West, Emily Watson and Monica Dolan. “It has been a great privilege to work with such amazingly talented people over the years,” says Pope.

Crime and evil are recurring features of Pope’s work, both as a writer and a producer. Even when a character is on the right side of the law, such as Albert Pierrepoint, he is still, as the UK’s most famous hangman, a killer. “I look for people in extreme situations, and murder, grief, violence and robbery are the most extreme forms of behaviour,” says Pope. Discussing his writing strengths, Pope notes: “My forté is in taking true events and shaping them into coherent stories – I’m trying to unlock the DNA of a story to find the truth.” Each project, he adds, involves an “intensive and exhaustive research process. There is a massive responsibility when you’re telling someone’s story but, in the end, what people are after is the truth.” As a writer, Pope has been in a rich run of form over the past few years. Critics and audiences alike raved about Mrs Biggs; The Widower, the story of Malcolm Webster, a man who killed to gain insurance pay-outs; Lucan, about the missing aristocrat accused of murdering his children’s nanny; and Cilla, the story of the beloved Liverpudlian entertainer. The prolific Pope somehow found the time to squeeze a movie into 2013, Philomena, written with Steve Coogan and starring Judi Dench as a woman searching for her forcibly adopted son. And all this while Pope was holding down a longstanding day job as ITV’s head of factual drama(!). When he is co-writing a script, Pope describes himself as a “keyboard Nazi”. For Philomena, he and Coogan sketched an outline of the story and built it up, bit by bit. “Steve became the characters. I saw myself as a man with a giant

“I feel very proud of the body of work I’ve built up and honoured that it’s being recognised. I’m going to embrace it.”
butterfly net, catching all these wonderful lines and working out how they slotted into the story,” he explains. Global acclaim came with the film, which earned the duo a BAFTA for Adapted Screenplay and an Oscar nomination. Pope reckons this belated recognition was a blessing. “I was in my early 50s, a point where I understood what I was good at,” he explains. “It led to a lot of opportunities but I was old enough and wise enough to know which ones to go for; not that I was offered anything like Superman 5. There are people who are going to do that much better than me.” Pope plans to stick with what he knows best – fact-based drama. Among the projects in development are A Speck in the Sea with the Weinstein Company, about a lobsterman who fell overboard 40 miles from shore and survived; and a film for the BBC about Laurel and Hardy. But he doesn’t intend to forsake television for the glamour of the movies. Since his first job at LWT in 1983, Pope has worked out of the same ITV offices on London’s South Bank. Currently, he is filming BBC Two series Cradle to Grave, which he and Danny Baker have adapted from Baker’s autobiography, Going to Sea in a Sieve. “Things tend to go in circles and I’m back working with Danny, 30 years after we met on The Six O’Clock Show,” Pope says. “Television gives you the opportunity to tell a story over five hours and get to the heart of your characters. I don’t want to lose that freedom.” “I now have two halves to my career: one is making stuff for television, the other more recent side is movies. I want to keep both going for as long as I possibly can – until my head blows up or someone says, ‘This isn’t working.’”

elevision has changed, not only in a creative sense, but also in how it’s delivered, accessed and consumed. While the trusty box still occupies a prime position in most homes, and many an evening is planned around the programming schedule, television has morphed into an art form that can also be consumed at our own pace and wherever we want. This year’s photo essay captures this new customisable on-the-go viewing experience, featuring some of the past year’s most tantalising British stars catching up on their favourite television shows as they ready themselves for a red carpet experience.

Archie Panjabi has been a regular on British television since the 1990s (including providing the voice of Meera and Nisha Baines in Postman Pat), but 2014 has been an eye-opener of a year with standout performances in The Widower, The Fall and The Good Wife.

With only a handful of television appearances under his belt pre-2015 (including the drama Bedlam), young actor Nikesh Patel seems all set to be a star of tomorrow, having skillfully wooed a nation with his compelling performance in this year’s Indian Summers.
Sky News anchor Kay Burley has been resolutely covering breaking events and current affairs since joining the channel in 1988. Her clear passion and unflappable professionalism has contributed to the Sky News production team’s 12 BAFTA nominations in the past 15 years, which include three wins.

She was also nominated at the Film Awards for her stunning performance in The History Boys in 2007.

One of the hardest working actors in British television and film, James Nesbitt had been nominated once for a BAFTA, in 2003 for Bloody Sunday, before this year’s Leading Actor nomination for The Missing. In 2014, he also starred in Babylon, as well as giving Dwarven warrior Bofur a third outing in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.
The multitalented Matt Berry has been thrice nominated for a BAFTA, at last year’s Television Awards for Situation Comedy, at this year’s Television Craft Awards for Writer – Comedy (with Arthur Mathews) and at this Television Awards for Male Performance In A Comedy Programme. All nominations were for his comedy Toast of London, but 2014 also saw him reprise the role of Douglas Reynholm in The IT Crowd.

While producer Gareth Neame has three BAFTA nominations to his name (in 1998 and 2011 for The Woman in White and Downton Abbey, and this year for The Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies), his company Carnival Films has many more. He has been managing director of the independent production house since 2004, overseeing such standout hits as The Hollow Crown, Dracula, Whitechapel and Any Human Heart.

Actor Nicholas Pinnock first caught the public eye as Evan in Yann Demange’s BAFTAwinning contemporary drama Top Boy in 2012, but his full talent was firmly put into the spotlight in this year’s nail-biting crime drama, Fortitude.
You would think actor, writer and producer Mark Gatiss’ year could not get any busier, with performances in 2014 including Sherlock, Mapp & Lucia and Wolf Hall, and writing duties on Doctor Who and Sherlock (which have earned him a BAFTA nomination and a win respectively in the past). But this year sees him add to that tally with a recurring role in the hugely popular Game of Thrones.
Presenter Emma Willis has become a ubiquitous face on British television, fronting two of the UK’s most popular reality shows, The Voice UK and Big Brother, and, until recently, Big Brother’s Bit on the Side. In 2014, she also presented This Morning’s The Hub section.
