38 productions that contributed to the ScreenSkills High-end TV Skills Fund have received nominations for this year’s BAFTA Television and BAFTA Craft awards.
The awards, held over two ceremonies on 23 April and 14 May, celebrate the best British television, both in front of and behind the camera, from the past twelve months.
Leading the nominations with six each are Fund contributors This is Going to Hurt and The Responder. The latter received a nomination in the Best Drama Writing category for Tony Schumacher, a member of ScreenSkills’ inaugural New Writers Programme where he first shaped the idea for the show.

Just behind them with five nominations apiece were fellow Fund contributors The Crown, The English, Bad Sisters and Slow Horses. Daisy May Cooper’s comedy Am I Being Unreasonable and the returning drama, Top Boy each received four nominations.
ScreenSkills will return as sponsors for the Craft Awards, supporting the Costume Design Award and celebrating the work of this vital production role. Each of the four productions nominated in this category – The Crown, Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared, The Essex Serpent, The English – contributed to the HETV Skills Fund.
In addition to paying into the Skills Fund, a number of the productions supported those taking part in ScreenSkills programmes. There were 41 Trainee Finder trainees working on 22 nominated productions and 37 on the Make a Move programme taken on by 23 of the productions. Four electrical trainees received placements, as did a further two from the Leaders of Tomorrow programme.
We thanks each production for their contribution and wish them luck for the Awards.
