#BAFTATVAwards BAFTA.ORG 1

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

W E LC O M E 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.

P&O CRUISES W E LC O M E 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.

THE HOSTS Rob and Romesh Agree to Disagree photography : rachell smith

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.

Also: in this for commercial gain.” Though day and age, it sort of scares the duo’s deep love and people when you ring them, commitment is evident, how so I quite like that because it much do they have in common gets them on the backfoot. when it comes to what’s really Although, I have to say I hate important: like TV? We got voice notes. Some are like the (honest) lowdown on the miniature podcasts and it’s comedy duo’s screen time… 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.

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.

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 F E L L OW S H I P The Infinite Magic of Floella Benjamin photography : rachell smith tex t : 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.

23

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.

24

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

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.

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.

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, funmi olutoye : I’m still in a little bit of shock and the last people to touch – I just never thought I would them before they perform.

It’s amazing to So being able to speak to people that are making and pick others’ brains about the future of the industry, because working on productions right now is such a big deal.

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.

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,

HOW TO GET I N V O LV E D 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.

T H E S P E C I A L AWA R D : M A M A YO U T H P R O J E CT

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.”
