BBC scoops 19 RTS Craft & Design Awards

Across the 31 competitive categories, the BBC led the way with 19 wins, three of which were for the BBC1 and HBO series His Dark Materials for the Design – Titles, Effects, and Production Design – Drama categories.

ITV and Channel 4 each took home four awards with ITV’s The Masked Singer garnering the Costume Design - Entertainment & Non Drama, and documentary For Sama winning two awards for Channel 4 for Director – Documentary/Factual & Non Drama and Music – Original Score.

The RTS Special Award was presented to Michaela Coel for her BBC1 and HBO hit series I May Destroy You. Renowned casting director Nina Gold was given the Outstanding Achievement Award for her extensive career which has included casting for internationally esteemed television and films such as The Crown, Chernobyl and Game of Thrones.

Chair of the Awards Anne Mensah said: “Despite not being able to meet as we usually would to revel in what has been a brilliant year of production, we are delighted we could celebrate together virtually this evening.

”Echoing the message shared by HRH The Prince of Wales, the industry has not only lifted the spirits of UK audiences this year, but also continues to be a major economic and cultural force on the global stage. Collectively we have produced an outstanding array of quality content during a time that has thrown up so many challenges, and I heartily congratulate all the winners!”
