TV CRAFT WINNERS & ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

#BAFTATVAwards BAFTA.ORG

As President of BAFTA, I am delighted to welcome you to the 2024 BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises, bringing us together to celebrate the many extraordinary television shows made over the last year and the people who bring them to life. Occasions like tonight are wonderful showcases for the creative skill that powers the British and global screen arts, as well as providing a list of fantastic titles for television lovers around the world to enjoy.

The screen arts are such an important part of the fabric of our nation. Our films, games and television shows are some of our best exports on the global stage, thanks to the skill, innovation and cultural dynamism of our country’s creative minds. But the industry relies on us to nurture the talent of tomorrow, so that everyone – no matter their background – has a real opportunity to bring their stories to life.

I know many in the room tonight have contributed to this important work in some way, whether through mentoring, offering your time to an initiative, or financial support. As a charity, BAFTA is hugely grateful to all those who support these endeavours. I am very proud to be involved with an organisation that is dedicated to breaking down barriers for the storytellers of the future. I warmly congratulate all the television talent whose work features in this year’s nominations, and I wish you all a wonderful evening.

HRH The Prince of Wales, k . g . k . t . President of

BAFTA

WELCOME

It is a pleasure to welcome you to the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises. As a showcase for our industry’s talent, this is one of our favourite evenings in the BAFTA calendar.

British television is world-renowned for its innovation and inventiveness, a reputation earned thanks in no small part to the high-quality craft and skills of the creative practitioners and performers we are here to celebrate tonight.

British-made TV continues to be best in class: inspiring, entertaining and informing audiences at home and abroad.

At a challenging time when budgets are tight and creative risk-taking can feel ever riskier, our Awards celebrate the incredible resourcefulness and skill of those in our industry today, and remind us of the importance of nurturing talent, championing new ideas and supporting each other to ensure the good health of the sector.

Celebrating creative excellence and inspiring the talent of the future is at the heart of BAFTA’s mission. Sincere thanks to our members, partners, and donors – all of whom enable BAFTA to do this important work year-round, including the staging of tonight’s Awards.

Congratulations to all tonight’s nominees. We hope you have a fantastic night.

Jane Millichip Sara Putt CEO, BAFTA BAFTA Chair

P&O CRUISES

WELCOME

I am delighted to welcome you to this year’s celebration of the best of British television. P&O Cruises has a long history of supporting the arts and entertainment industry, and we are honoured to be the headline sponsor of the BAFTA Television Awards for the second year running.

Television has the power to transport us to different worlds, to make us laugh, cry, and feel inspired. It can also help us to learn about new cultures, places and people, and to broaden our horizons.

That is why we believe that watching television and enjoying holidays have a lot in common. Both are ways of enriching our lives, escaping the everyday, and creating unforgettable memories. Both are also ways of discovering new stories, whether they are on the screen or at sea.

At P&O Cruises, we are passionate about bringing you the best stories from around the world, with our fleet of ships that offer a range of destinations, experiences, and entertainment options. Whether you want to explore the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, the Norwegian fjords or further afield, we have a cruise for you. And whether you want to relax, have fun or learn something new, we have a programme of activities, shows, and events to suit every taste.

P&O Cruises is proud to celebrate the British TV industry with you. We hope that you enjoy this evening, and that it is filled with memorable moments.

Paul Ludlow P&O Cruises & Carnival UK President

THE HOSTS

Rob and Romesh Agree to Disagree

Best friends, compadrés, comedians and co-hosts: the return of Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan to host tonight’s awards is bound to make for a night of epic proportions.

“ IT’S A REAL PRIVILEGE TO CONTINUALLY WORK TOGETHER EVEN THOUGH OUR FRIENDSHIP IS FAKE AND COMPLETELY FABRICATED FOR COMMERCIAL GAIN ”

–

Rob Beckett

“ I REALLY THOUGHT I’D DONE ENOUGH LAST YEAR TO BE ASKED TO HOST IT SOLO THIS TIME, BUT HOSTING WITH ROB AGAIN IS ALSO AN HONOUR I SUPPOSE ”

– Romesh Ranganathan

“I really thought I’d done enough last year to be asked to host it solo this time”, says Ranganathan, “but hosting with Rob again is also an honour I suppose.” For Beckett, tonight feels more like an overdue get-together. “It’s a real privilege to continually work together,” he says, adding, “even though our friendship is fake and completely fabricated for commercial gain.” Though the duo’s deep love and commitment is evident, how much do they have in common when it comes to what’s really important: like TV? We got the (honest) lowdown on the comedy duo’s screen time…

romesh ranganathan : Laptop 100 per cent. My pretour show ritual is watching TV on a laptop.

texting or talking ?

rb : Personally I like text, because it’s quick and efficient. However, I will ring people up, especially if something needs to get sorted out. Also: in this day and age, it sort of scares people when you ring them, so I quite like that because it gets them on the backfoot. Although, I have to say I hate voice notes. Some are like miniature podcasts and it’s just too much. I start talking in circles.

tv on a laptop , or tv on a tv ?

rob beckett : TV on a TV, please! But when I’m on tour, always on an iPad, I would never go near the telly. Don’t know why. But yeah, a proper TV set-up is best: comfy on the sofa with a big screen.

rr : Now, I quite like a voice note. I feel like it’s nicer having a conversation, but you don’t feel the pressure of thinking it up straight away. And you can give a measured response. Tone can get lost in text.

notepad or notes app ?

rb : I use the Notes app every single time. Whenever I try and start a new project, I will

buy a notepad and I will lose it immediately with three things written in it.

rr : I write a lot of my stand up on the Notes app too. But I’ve also just bought this funky kind of electronic notepad called reMarkable. Which says that it’s almost as good as paper, which does beg the question, why don’t you just get some paper. But anyway.

would you rather live in a period drama or a police procedural ?

rb : I don’t know what a police procedural is! Romesh and I have spoken about this actually: I think we should do a police detective comedy film. Period dramas seem stressful, because you’re either the servant or you’re the rich one and everything’s going wrong. So, that’s not for me.

rr : I’d rather live in a period drama, just because it’s not often you see brown people in a period drama. Though, it depends where the period drama is set. I suppose every period drama would have a lot of brown people in it if it was set in Sri Lanka or India. Police dramas definitely make me too nervous and edgy.

reality tv or documentaries ?

rb : I like a healthy balance of both. Let’s face it, there’s nothing funnier than real people is there really? That’s why sitcoms aren’t as popular now, because there’s enough lunatics knocking around on social media already. You don’t need to write it. It’s been written for you.

rr : I like both, but at the moment I’m addicted to Below Deck. So currently it’s reality TV but I do love documentaries and I make documentaries – so I should probably say that.

super speed or super strength ?

rr : Super speed please!

rb : Yeah, I’d rather be quick than strong. Because I’m 38, I still play football, and I’ll be honest with you – the speed’s the problem.

rr : It’s much better. If you watch X Men Origins: Wolverine, there’s a scene with Quicksilver where he’s saving all the people from the lab that is one of the best things I’ve ever seen. So, I’d love to be part of that in real life. I mean, I realise these are not requests, but more just theoretical questions.

watch the same tv show for the rest of your life or only eat one kind of food for the rest of your life ?

rb : I would eat one kind of food for the rest of my life. TV, I’ve got to change it up. You’d go mad.

rr : I’d watch one TV show. I pretty much do that with the American The Office all the time, every day, all day.

underdressed or overdressed ?

rb : Underdressed, every day of the week. I hate dressing up. I know I’m hosting the BAFTAs but I hate it. I’ll rip that suit off as soon as we’re finished.

rr : I like underdressed. Too much effort suggests thirst, underdressed suggests you’re too cool for this event.

THE SPECIAL AWARD

Lorraine Kelly Asks All the Right Questions

In a first for BAFTA – and certainly for the longtime television presenter – Lorraine Kelly found out about her Special Award live on breakfast television.

photography : rachell smith

“ WE NEVER SHY AWAY FROM CONTROVERSY OR HOLDING PEOPLE IN POWER TO ACCOUNT. BUT I AM NEVER GLADIATORIAL.

AS MY GRANNY USED TO SAY, YOU GET MORE WITH SUGAR THAN VINEGAR ” – Lorraine Kelly

“I assumed we were still on air,” the presenter, journalist and author says of the moment on Lorraine on 25 March when all her TV monitors blinked off, her feed went dead and she was left stumped in the middle of what she assumed was a technical fault. Meanwhile, viewers were watching Susanna Reid walk into the studio with a surprise announcement to share. “When our giant screen doors opened, and I saw her there, I honestly had no idea what was going on! I was overwhelmed when she told me. For once, I was completely lost for words.”

Not ever finding herself lost for words is all part and parcel of the job for Kelly, who has been one of the most steadfast and beloved presences on our daytime screens for four decades. Tonight, as she is honoured for her skill, sensitivity and ability to educate the public on tricky subjects with empathy, Kelly joins previous Special Award recipients like David Olusoga, Clare Balding, Idris Elba and Cilla Black – but her on-screen charisma is all

her own. And how about her favourite interviewee of all time? It’s pretty out-ofthis-world. “Buzz Aldrin,” she enthuses. “I am an unapologetic space geek.”

access into broadcasting for working-class people is something increasingly at risk and is something bafta works to address. how can we safeguard these voices in tv?

I was given opportunities that, sadly, have become almost non-existent. I went straight to my local newspaper from school and then to the BBC (after acquiring a bottom drawer full of rejection letters). In fact, I was told by the boss of BBC Scotland that I would never make it in TV because of my working-class Glasgow accent. It was actually the best thing that could have happened: that comment spurred me to phone the boss of the relatively new breakfast TV station TVam, who asked me to come down for an interview and then hired me as Scottish correspondent (Bruce Gyngell was Australian so didn’t have the same class prejudices –

he just wanted a Scottish reporter!) The high cost of living and working now makes it almost impossible for working class kids from the rest of the country to accept a job in London. That has to change. There also needs to be more opportunities outside of London. We quite rightly have stressed the importance of diversity in recent years, but that also has to include young working-class people who understand and can relate to the vast majority of our viewers. It is in all of our interests to make sure they have the opportunity to have their voices heard.

how has the role daytime tv plays in people’s lives changed?

One of the things I love about my job is that viewers, especially those who have watched for a long time, consider me to be their friend. That has only strengthened over the years, and was especially true during Covid. I was told we provided much needed normality and reassurance. At the same time, I want to be entertaining, funny and also thought-

provoking: breakfast and daytime have been trailblazing in dealing with issues like LGBTQIA+ and transgender rights as well as “taboo” medical issues. We never shy away from controversy or holding people in power to account, but as my granny used to say, you get more with sugar than vinegar. I am never gladiatorial – I always try to be firm but fair.

what’s your advice to budding presenters and broadcast journalists looking to hone their own style?

Do the work. I always do my homework. You need to watch the movie or the TV show, read the book or listen to the radio show or podcast. You need to be clued up on all the issues. There are no shortcuts. And don’t forget it’s never about you, but always about your guest. In fact, the most important advice I would give is very simple: listen. The human interest stories are the most important and have the most impact. I am forever grateful that people trust me with their stories.

THE FELLOWSHIP

The Infinite Magic of Floella Benjamin

photography : rachell smith

text : kemi alemoru

This year’s Fellowship recipient is the first Black woman to hold the BAFTA honour. But Floella Benjamin, a bastion of British entertainment for five decades, has an impressive catalogue of firsts on her resume.

Speaking to me from a hotel in Northampton, where Benjamin is due to do a talk at a school the next morning, she says she’s motivated by her work making a difference but the plaudits are a nice “cherry on top”. “They just seem to come to me like a magnet,” she laughs. Her public notoriety came from soothing the nation’s children with her plummy voice and instantly recognisable kilowatt smile on BBC’s Play School. However, along the way the first Black woman in Britain’s children’s TV also became the first actress to become a life peer in the House of Lords thanks to the Liberal Democrats. She was also the first Afro-Caribbean woman to be a Chancellor in the UK at the University of Exeter, where a bust of her now stands that also made her the first living Black woman in the UK to have a public statue. “I’m the only person in the country that has started as an actress, and singer, then become a writer, then an independent producer with my own production company, then a regulator with Ofcom,

and now a legislator in Parliament. I don’t think anybody has had that career path,” says Benjamin, who is not coy about her knack for pioneering. According to her biography, What Are You Doing Here?, she may have even been the only woman resistant to David Bowie’s charms. He said “I want to offer you the world”, but, apparently, she declined to take him up on the offer.

In truth, the world is not something Benjamin waits to be given to her. It’s something she’s bravely taken for herself: crafting it the way she wanted to see it when she arrived here as a Windrush child from Trinidad and Tobago. With a rocky start – facing physical and racial abuse as a child –Benjamin developed a tough skin. But rather than becoming a hardened and cold character, she wears her unfaltering cheer as armour and passionately works to make children’s lives more joyful. “Nothing can defeat me because my smile helps me through life,” she explains. Floella has also found it a hugely influential tool to avoid tension and defensiveness while advocating for her vision.

Her father, a jazz musician, once brought 15-month-old Floella to a Christmas party where he performed. She got on stage and told everybody: “‘Stop dancing. You’ve got it all wrong! This is how you dance’. And from 15 months to now, I’m still telling people what they should do.”

I WAS TOLD I WAS BRITISH, BUT WHEN I CAME I HAD TO BREAK DOWN SO MANY BARRIERS “ ”

Benjamin’s love of entertaining was palpable from the get go. By 20, she was performing in the West End in productions before segueing into television. There, she had to blaze her own trail. “One time a producer wanted me to be in an advert, and the client said, ‘We don’t

want a Black person touching our products,’” she recalled. Rather than internalise her frustrations, she would push back. “In one of my first acting roles on television, I said to one of the producers over lunch, ‘Why do Black people always have to play thieves, criminals, prostitutes? Why can’t we play professional roles, like lawyers?’ He said, ‘That’s not realistic, is it?’” Eventually producers would be a little more reflective at her observations, admitting they hadn’t noticed their blind spots. Thus began a career of gently moving the dial of representation in the industry.

Today her Play School viewers, whom she refers to as her “babies”, are grown up and include senior politicians.

“I call a lot of the ministers, my ‘political babies’, and I get them to change the world for me,” she says. Benjamin has influenced legislation, like her push to stimulate the home-grown children’s TV sector by giving Ofcom the power to make public service broadcasters invest in shows targeting young audiences. She even made a lasting

With BAFTA Young Presenter Jeriah Kibusi

impression on the late Queen Elizabeth. The pair had a soulbearing conversation during a Diamond Jubilee visit to the University of Exeter. “I told her how when I was a little girl in Trinidad, I stood in the playground and sang God Save the Queen. I was told I was British, but when I came I had to break down so many barriers. People had done wicked things to me and I had to forgive them all because if you don’t forgive you remain a victim. Suddenly, something changed in her and she sat back in her chair with her beautiful, sparkling deep blue eyes, and said: ‘Speaking to you like this reminds me of my conversations with Nelson Mandela, he had that same philosophy of forgiveness.’”

Based on this conversation, the Queen gave Benjamin an Order of Merit two days before she died.

Glittery shoes that lit up her dance moves, bright charity shop finds inspired by her mother’s love of jumble sales, ornamental earrings –Benjamin’s distinctive style brightened our screens.

A discussion of her signature look leads to another Floella first that is near-impossible to fact-check. “I was the first Black person in this country to wear their hair in plaits and beads,” she says.

Benjamin says sporting the look on TV influenced viewer’s style, and remembers how when she debuted her braids at Cannes while there as a star of the 1977 film, Black Joy, they drew admiration from Playboy who offered her lots of money promising to make her an international star. “I wouldn’t be doing all the things with kings, queens, and presidents across the world had I done that,” she laughs. This Fellowship from her industry peers is one of her most treasured vanguard moments. Firstly, because it leaves her thankful for the late Sir Sydney Samuelson, former BAFTA chairman, who she describes as one of her “guardian angels” for his guidance. And chiefly, because it’s a rare moment for Benjamin to reflect on everything she has achieved.

THE SOAPS

British Television’s Class Acts

How does the culture of soaps in the UK represent class authentically? Soap actors and casting directors come together to unpack the great British dramatic institution that made them

“ IT’S SUCH A WELL-OILED MACHINE, AND YOU ARE THE NEW COG IN THAT MACHINE. BUT YOU FIND YOUR PLACE.

SOAPS ARE INTENSE, AND OVERWHELMING, AND THE BEST PLACE TO LEARN.

I ’ M LOVING IT ”

– Channique Sterling-Brown, actor

When soap veterans Jeff Hordley (Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle) and Scott Maslen (EastEnders’ Jack Branning) joined Coronation Street’s award-winning newcomer Channique Sterling-Brown (Dee-Dee Bailey) and casting directors Faye Styring (Emmerdale), Kevin Riddle (EastEnders and Casualty) and Peter Hunt (Hollyoaks) to talk class, community and casting at BAFTA in London – hosted by Sharon Marshall – it was an illuminating insight into the way soap operas are vital pathways into the industry for working-class people. These shows nurture new talent in front of and behind the camera: filming at great speed and intensity, surrounded by experienced experts. But soaps are more than the training ground for the next generation; they are also the Wembley, the Old Trafford or the Elland Road. In fact, soaps are at the vanguard of working-class representation on screen, telling the authentic stories of everyday life in all its extraordinary, ordinary, glory.

scott maslen : The alchemy of what we’re doing is so good. You get great writing, great storytelling, great crews, great actors. All shows go through peaks and troughs, like you do in life. But we’re in a good place at the moment.

jeff hordley : There’s a camaraderie and a community we have within our productions. Everybody knows each other inside out, because we speak on a daily basis. I’ve been doing it for 23 years – with a three-year break from 2006 to 2009 when I did lots of theatre, darling... channique sterlingbrown : I only started on Coronation Street two years ago, so I’m a baby, really. But I’m absolutely loving it. I feel like you have to be a sponge. Take everything in. It is a baptism of fire and you have to hit the ground running. There’s so much going on.

jh : When brilliant new actors come in, you really up your game. It makes us work better. Beth Cordingly just came into Emmerdale to play Ruby and it’s like she’s saying: keep up! She makes us act better.

csb : For the first two weeks, I was like, what does TEA stand for on the call sheet? I asked someone and they were like, “Oh, babe. It’s just the tea break.” Luckily, at Coronation Street, and I’m sure on other soaps, it has such a family feel. People are there to help, encourage and support you. And the make-up girls are like therapists!

sm : It can also be tough for someone coming in. The luxuries are taken away. It’s down to the bare bones. But when you strip everything away and focus on the really essential things, you get results.

jh : When it comes to that scene at the end of the day, where you’ve only got half an hour to film, we can do it even with our backs to the wall. And that’s when it’s exciting. Sometimes that last scene of the day is just amazing.

csb : It’s such a well-oiled machine. And you are the new cog in that machine. But you find your place. And it is a special thing to be a part of.

Soap acting can be intense and overwhelming. But it is the best way to learn. I’m loving it.

faye styring : I don’t think you can’t underestimate the training ground. We have some established actors coming onto our show and they’re blown away by the speed we work at. Kids grow up on our show and then leave to go into the big wide world: but if you can handle soap, you can handle anything.

sm : I’m part of a (different) generation – single parent, council estate, Woolwich, no money, no hope, type of thing. And we had a youth club at the end of my road. And that youth club saved most of the kids on my street – whether it was opportunities to do judo, go camping or acting. Weakness is a strength in my eyes. If you’ve been exposed to stuff just because of the cards you’re dealt, you need to use that. I didn’t have the best of upbringings. There were two ways I could have gone. And I chose the right path.

jh : I went to a comprehensive school in Oldham and we had an English teacher called

Colin Snell who put on school productions. He took us to the National Student Drama Festival and even the Edinburgh Fringe.We were just this lowly comprehensive school in Oldham. But he made the arts accessible for us. Will Ash, who is in Emmerdale with me now, Nicola Stephenson, Jo Hartley – we were all taught by him. Then he went to another school and taught Jenna Coleman and Jonas Armstrong. It concerns me going forward because there is no music or drama on the curriculum – the government is stripping it from a lot of state schools. So, what kind of actors will we get in the future?

csb : There is something so important about those people who see the gold in you. Similarly to Jeff, if it wasn’t for a teacher, who believed in me and pushed me and ran an after-school club with drama, I would never have pursued acting. All I had were those two hours a week. The process of getting into drama school was one of the hardest things I ever did. There are so many

barriers financially. Then I had to work all the way through drama school because there isn’t any support for entry level actors. I’m so glad I went. I wouldn’t change a thing. But some of my peers got funding from their parents, while I used to work from 5.30 at Greggs with no break, walk to drama school, and be there from 10 to 6pm or longer if we were rehearsing, then home to learn lines. It’s a lot for working class actors. And so much talent is probably being missed.

peter hunt : Just as the story offices are looking for new stories, we’re looking at new untapped places to find talent. I think we do it brilliantly. On Hollyoaks, Lauren McQueen, Theo Graham, Malique (Thompson-Dwyer) are all people I found in pub theatres or theatres locally. It is really also on us as casting teams, to ensure that we don’t miss anyone.

kevin riddle : I might get booed off stage for saying this, and if I’d said this answer five years ago, I would have run

“ KIDS GROW UP ON OUR SHOW AND THEN LEAVE TO GO INTO THE BIG WIDE WORLD: BUT IF YOU CAN HANDLE SOAP, YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING ”

– Faye Styring, casting director

up on stage and punched myself in the face. But over the last couple of years, I’ve also auditioned a lot of actors because I’ve watched them do funny sketches on social media. I would have been very snooty about that previously. But it’s a good way of finding funny people.

jh : After drama school – this is how silly I was back then – I didn’t want to do an advert, I didn’t want to do soaps. I found myself in a soap and was still saying, “I’ll do this for two years.” Six years flew by, and it was the most amazing six years. I learned so much on this job, just by watching and also feeling really comfortable on a set, in front of a camera, with a boom mic right next to you. As the years have rolled on, the writers understand my character and what I’ve brought to it. The longer I’ve stayed in this role, the better it’s got for me.

csb : For my mum and my aunties, I could do anything in my career. But I will never compete with Corrie. This is the holy grail. We grew up

watching it. My granddad was watching Corrie before I was even born. Black Northern culture is underrepresented and I love getting to show normal family life. A lot of Black British stories are very London-centric. But as a Black Northerner, the opportunity to audition on Emmerdale or Coronation Street is so important – and to have that representation on the screen is important as well.

sm : Another beauty of soaps is that current stories can be absorbed into them. And they are, constantly, in all the soaps. If it’s current and it’s political or about social behaviour, we’re able to absorb them into our current stories. Soaps have done this since time immemorial. They are a direct link to what’s going on in real life.

jh : And the beauty for the production team is that they have a ready-made set of characters in whom the audience are already invested, to put into these current, real-time stories. Bang! That’s the gold.

FUNMI OLUTOYE PETER JACKSON CYNTHIA DE LA ROSA

In-conversation

THE BREAK THROUGHS

The producer & video journalist, writer and hair & make up designer on what makes the television industry exciting – and how being part of BAFTA Breakthrough will impact them

photography : vivek vadoliya

Peter Jackson (Somewhere Boy), Funmi Olutoye (Good Morning Britain) and Cynthia De La Rosa (Everyone Else Burns) are all participants in the current BAFTA Breakthrough UK, supported by Netflix. From daytime to dramas, the flagship talent initiative showcases and supports creatives to achieve lifelong screen arts careers.

Funmi Olutoye

peter jackson :

One thing being part of BAFTA Breakthrough made me realise is that there’s been no reason for anyone to take a photograph of me in about 15 years. And I actually look half decent (laughs). More seriously, to be part of a group where people are creating such wonderful, challenging, fresh work is a privilege. Especially given how isolated a profession writing is.

funmi olutoye :

I’m still in a little bit of shock – I just never thought I would ever get on to a scheme like this for myriad reasons. I’m really looking forward to networking horizontally, and getting to know the craft of others in the industry and what they do. It’s amazing to pick others’ brains about the future of the industry, because I primarily work in news, daytime, unscripted. Actually, I only found out on the day of the photoshoot, when someone said it in passing, that I’m the first person

from that space to be part of BAFTA Breakthrough –but hopefully not the last.

cynthia de la rosa : Similarly, only one other hair and make up designer has been part of Breakthrough in the past. So this is huge: for myself and also for Kat (Morgan). There’s no film set or television set that exists without a hair and make up department. We’re the first people that touch a cast member in the morning, and the last people to touch them before they perform. What I’m hoping to get out of the programme is primarily visibility. I started off in theatre and then moved into film and television – right before COVID, I started designing. So being able to speak to people that are making and working on productions right now is such a big deal.

pj : I only entered the industry at 30 years old. To be recognised by BAFTA was beyond my wildest dreams,

“ IF STORIES AREN ’ T BEING TOLD BY THE PEOPLE WHO

LIVE

THOSE STORIES, THEN WE AS A CULTURE ARE POORER FOR IT ”

– Peter Jackson

but more than that to realise that it offers so much support, and a network, is really thrilling. Between COVID, and the (US) writers’ strike, an industry that was already so unpredictable has become infinitely more unpredictable. You have to be enormously wealthy to afford to just have a go, and take these punts. But most of us take so many personal risks, career risks and financial risks to do so. The fact that it’s got riskier still, I think, is only bad news for working class writers who can’t afford not to work.

fo : In daytime, you could argue we’re one of the most comfortable in the industry right now – these are full time jobs, that are salaried, which isn’t the experience of most people in the industry. But the fears that people have is honestly just the future of daytime and where it’s going. That audience is dwindling. So we’re always having to have our finger on the pulse as to what people are talking about. We try to be the show or genre that gets people talking, and to set the tone for the day. Hopefully,

“ IT’S TIME FOR THE KINDS OF MASSIVE INDUSTRY CHANGES THAT ARE SUSTAINABLE ”

– Cynthia De La Rosa

whatever we put on the show before 9am is what people are still talking about come 6pm in the evening.

cr : For me, as a woman of colour, the streamers coming in have definitely meant more opportunities: there are more productions, there’s more content being created, which means that there are more opportunities for people such as myself to move to being heads of department within high-end television. And post-Covid and the Black Lives Matter movement, we’ve seen a higher rating in casting of actors from the global majority, which has meant that there’s a need for people that have experience with textured hair and are able to

do make up for multi-ethnic skin. The BBC actually used to have this wonderful program where you were trained from the ground up, but sadly that got cut. It’s time for the kinds of massive industry changes that are sustainable.

pj : I only speak from my own experience, but you do need to instill this sense that something is achievable, and not just for the privileged – which is what happens when there is no money in something at the ground level. I look at young writers now coming up and can see how hard it is. If stories aren’t being told by the people who live those stories, then we as a culture are poorer for it.

HOW TO GET INVOLVED

We are an industry of storytellers. Stories change lives –they influence how we think, how we behave and they inspire us. It is crucial that the stories that are being told, and the storytellers, truly reflect the society we live in.

To ensure this the screen industries must be open to talented people from all backgrounds.

We work year-round to identify and tackle barriers to opportunity, ensuring that the next generation of film and television makers, game designers, and screen arts creatives are supported to fulfil their creative potential.

BAFTA is an independent arts charity and we need to raise all our own income. To support our work we rely on income from individual donations, trusts, foundations, corporate partnerships and membership subscriptions.

THE SPECIAL AWARD: MAMA YOUTH PROJECT

Winner of this year’s Television Craft Special Award, MAMA Youth Project was founded by TV veteran Bob Clarke in 2005 to widen the TV industry’s talent pool by helping young people from underrepresented backgrounds access a career in the television and media industries. To date the organisation has helped over 800 talented young people across the UK access screen arts careers, with a remarkable 90% employment success rate.

Bob Clarke dropped out of school at 17 and stumbled into the world of television without any formal training or education. His resilience, determination, and passion propelled him forward, eventually leading him to establish MAMA Youth Project with the mission of providing others with similar opportunities. He said: “We are deeply honoured to receive this esteemed recognition. This award is a testament to the dedication and hard work of our team, mentors, partners, and most importantly, the incredible young people who have entrusted us with their dreams.”
