The Specialist Factual BAFTA was won by Simon Schama’s The Road to Auschwitz. ‘I think the BBC is the only broadcasting institution that would dare to make this kind of film,’ said the historian.
He added: ‘It’s all the more important for us as storytellers to convey as vividly and seriously without preaching the importance of not going near the possibility of that happening again. We took on the task of trying to do that description.’
The BAFTA for factual series went to See No Evil, about the career of prolific abuser John Smyth and the 35 year cover up which led to the fall of the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Nominations were announced in March with Stephen Graham leading the way with a total of 11 nominations for his drama, Adolescence and seven for his Disney+ series, A Thousand Blows – for which he is an executive producer.
Adolescence, which was created by actor Stephen, 52, and writer Jack Thorne, tells the story of British teenager Jamie Miller, who is found guilty of murdering a female classmate after being sucked in by the manosphere online.
Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot and has been widely praised for addressing topics such as online radicalisation and misogyny.
It is up for Limited Drama and Leading Actor, including the Craft Awards.
