The British Academy of Film & Television Arts announced a mess of winners of this year’s TV awards last night, and while TVWriter™ is happy for everyone – and impressed as hell by their skill too – the awards we care most about are these:
Television Craft | Writer – Comedy in 2015
DETECTORISTS
Writer: Mackenzie Crook
Television Craft | Writer – Drama in 2015
HAPPY VALLEY
Writer: Sally Wainwright
See all the winners HERE
Admission from LB – or maybe it’s a proclamation?
Yours truly is totally addicted to UK TV these days, and while I can’t say that DETECTORISTS and HAPPY VALLEY are my favorite shows, I will tell you that they’re much better than most other shows that aren’t faves…yes, including those made in the USA.
And I’ll also say that I think Sally Wainwright is one of the best writers working anywhere. Congrats to Sally and Mackenzie!
