Kenton Allen, Chair of the RTS Programme Awards, says: "The calibre of programming from British creatives has not wavered in the last 12 months despite it being an incredibly challenging year for the television industry, with many of our colleagues feeling the effects of the rapidly changing ways audiences are viewing our exceptional work. This year's nominations exemplify the breadth, creativity and quality of British television - from agenda-setting dramas, landmark documentaries, record-breaking comedies and so much more. We're looking forward to coming together to celebrate the achievements of the incredible creatives both on and off screen, and recognising the huge achievements from the past year."
