Ceremony to be held at The Grosvenor Hotel in London on 7 February 2018
Netflix shows have picked up three nominations in this year’s Broadcast Awards, the first time an SVoD service has been in the running.
Left Bank Pictures’ royal saga The Crown will square off against BBC1’s Apple Tree Yard and Three Girls, ITV’s Little Boy Blue, Channel 4’s National Treasure and Sky Atlantic’s Tin Star for Best Drama Series.
Meanwhile, the San Junipero episode of House of Tomorrow’s drama anthology Black Mirror is up for Best Single Drama and Lime Pictures’ horse-riding drama Free Rein is nominated for Best Children’s Show – the only non-BBC show to make the list.
Apple TV has also secured its first nomination, with Fulwell 73’s Harry Styles – Behind The Album in the running for Best Music Programme.
The awards recognise a creative resurgence at Channel 5, which has four nominations: Best Single Documentary for ITN Productions’ Slum Britain: 50 Years On; Best Popular Factual for Hat Trick’s Rich House, Poor House; and Best Original Programme for Brinkworth Films’ single doc The Accused; as well as a nomination for Channel of the Year.
Meanwhile, Avalon’s hit Dave show Taskmaster is nominated in two categories: Best Entertainment Programme and Best Multichannel Programme.
Just one of the companies on last year’s Best Independent Production Company shortlist is named this year: Twofour is up against Kudos, Left Bank, Love Productions, Two Brothers and Wall to Wall.
New shows making the list this year include ITV series Harry Hill’s Alien Fun Capsule (Best Comedy); BBC3 comedy This Country (Best Multi-channel); BBC2’s Hospital (Best Documentary Series); C4’s Extreme Cake-Makers and BBC2 series Richard Osman’s House of Games (both Best Daytime).
Jonathan Ross returns to host the awards, which will be held at The Grosvenor Hotel in London on 7 February 2018.
