Diane Morgan to receive Outstanding Achievement Award
Actor, writer and director Diane Morgan is to receive the Variety Outstanding Achievement Award at this year's Edinburgh TV Awards.
The special honour, awarded as part of the Festival's prestigious TV Awards event and in conjunction with the renowned Hollywood industry publication Variety, is being given to BAFTA-nominated Morgan, in recognition of "her incredible body of work" which spans over 20 years.
Previous recipients of the same prize include Jodie Comer (2021), David Harewood (2020), and Hugh Laurie (2019).
Morgan will also appear at the Festival in an exclusive In Conversation session to discuss her career and highlights of the last 20 years, as part of the Festival programme.
Diane Morgan says:"What a lovely surprise! This almost makes up for all those Edinburghs where no one turned up to my show."
The Edinburgh TV Awards will be hosted by Sophie Duker as part of the annual Edinburgh Television Festival, on Thursday 25th August.
