Ten Alps Television wins BAFTA TV Award
The Board of Ten Alps is delighted to announce that its
television division has won a BAFTA for best factual series with
its series 'The Murder Detectives', which ran over three nights on
Channel 4 in November. The ground-breaking programme involved a
production team following every twist and turn in a police
investigation into the murder of a Bristol teenager.
The same Ten Alps television production unit, Films of Record,
also had a second nomination in the same category at the annual
awards for 'Great Ormond Street', a series produced for BBC which
focussed on the cases of individual children undergoing treatment
for life-threatening illness at the London hospital.
The British Academy of Film and Television Awards ('BAFTAs') are
recognised as the most prestigious TV and Film awards in the UK and
enjoy worldwide recognition. It is rare for a single production
company to secure two nominations for the BAFTA finals.
Ten Alps also won two of the categories in the BAFTA Crafts
awards, which precede the main BAFTA event and recognise 'behind
the scenes' technical excellence in British television, for work on
'The Murder Detectives'. Films of Record's Dave Nath took the award
for Director, Factual, and Ben Brown for Editing, Factual.
Ten Alps had a combined total of eight nominations in the Crafts
Awards and main BAFTA awards.
Chief Executive Mark Wood said:
"These awards are a tremendous recognition of the talent we have
in our TV business and the edge we have in our creative approach to
factual programming, a genre which is commanding bigger audiences
and more airtime. Our strategy is to focus our factual and
documentary production businesses on higher-value, returnable
series and in particular to secure more commissions in the US. The
imprimatur of a BAFTA has as much impact in that market as it does
in the UK and will certainly assist our current discussions with
broadcasters in both markets."
