The dynamic craft duo were rewarded for their 'fantastic' and 'iconic' work which was described as 'truly stunning'. They won in the best make up design and best costume design categories that dealt with entertainment and non-drama productions.
Hardinge and Cavalli-Green were also been nominated for Bafta craft awards this year while the show, now in its third series, has won countless awards during its run.
The other awards were handed out in a very even fashion with people that worked on Casanova, Sex Traffic and Flashmob: The Opera each picking up two awards.
The crew and production team that worked on Sex Traffic dominated the shortlist with five nominations but in the end the trophies were sprinkled liberally throughout with no single show or series claiming top billing. Indie-produced shows were conspicuous amongst the winners though with people that worked with World Productions, October, John Downer, Red and Pioneer Productions all picking up awards.
Sunset + Vine was rewarded for its Channel 4 cricket coverage with the judges award and colourist Chris Beeton picked up the lifetime achievement award.
RTS Craft and Design Awards 2004/2005 were presented on Tuesday 22 November 2005 at the Savoy Hotel, Strand, London WC2.

Make Up Design (Drama)
Vanessa White and Neill Gorton Help

Candida Otton Sex Traffic
A Granada Production (co produced with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) for Channel 4
"A superb example of production design creating a complex backdrop for its characters which is constantly believable. The world it creates feels authentically moody, haunting and ominous and enhances the utterly compelling nature of the story."

Lighting, Photography and Camera Photography (Drama)
Anthony Radcliffe Casanova
BBC Wales/Red Production Company/Power in association with Granada for BBC Three/BBC One
"Full of brio and panache, this was a bravura performance. A palette that included all the colours under the rainbow matched with breathless camera movement gave the drama its wild exuberance - and in a field of more naturalistic work, the energy, extraordinary use of colour and supra-realistic quality of the photography shone out."
Lighting, Photography and Camera Photography (Documentary/Factual & Non Drama)
Neil Rettig and Andrew Graham Brown Natural World:Mississippi- Tales of theLastRiverRat
An @GB Films production for BBC Natural History Unit/Discovery Channel for BBC Two
"Stunningly beautiful and poetic photography . Sensuous and languid, the remarkable footage captured all the moods of the river at all times of day and year.

Costume Design (Drama)

Sound (Drama)
Nigel Edwards, Nick Cox, Phil Barnes and Zane Hayward Murder Prevention
World Productions for five
" a highly exciting, unconventional approach to sound within a drama programme, dispensing with incidental music and creating instead a distinctive, almost unique soundscape. This was so effective, the jury felt the sound design in the winning programme didn't just contribute to the dramatic tension. It gave entirely new life to a tried and tested cop show formula."
Sound (Entertainment and Non Drama Productions)
BBC Outside Broadcasts Sound Team - Flashmob: The Opera
BBC Classical Music TV for BBC Three

TWI/Ascent Media for ITV1

Visual Effects (Special Effects)
Pioneer Productions, Toby MacDonald, David Barlow and Artem Life Before Birth Pioneer Film and Television Productions for Channel 4

John Downer Productions for BBC Drama Serials/A&E/ProSieben for BBC One
