UK television dominates Rose d’Or once more

UK programmes have made a big impression on the Rose d’Or judges yet again, earning a staggering 48 nominations in total in the prestigious, global television awards.

The United Kingdom dominates across many of the categories, not least in Sitcom, where nine of the ten nominations are from here. Matt Lipsey’s Psychoville, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin’s Outnumbered: Christmas Special and BAFTA-winning The Inbetweeners, directed by Ben Palmer, are all in the running for the award.

The UK was similarly unstoppable in the Comedy category, with another nine nominations making that shortlist too. Facejacker, directed by Kayvan Novak and Ed Tracy, The Kevin Bishop Show, which had Dominic Brigstocke and Elliot Hegarty as its directors, and another recent BAFTA winner - The Armstrong and Miller Show, also directed by Dominic Brigstocke – are just some of the nominees.

There are seven programmes from the United Kingdom up for the Reality and Factual Entertainment award, including One Born Every Minute – another BAFTA winner, with direction from James House, Emma Tutty and Lisa Smith – and Coach Trip, directed by Keely van Dyke. The UK also has four nominations in Drama and Mini Series, with yet another BAFTA winner Misfits – which included Tom Harper, Tom Green and Amanda Harper as its directors – competing with the likes of Richard Laxton’s An Englishman in New York and Royal Wedding, by director James Griffiths.

Directors UK would like to congratulate all those who have been nominated for a Rose d’Or award. The award ceremony will be held at the Rose d'Or Festival in Lucerne, Switzerland, which runs from September 18 to 22. For a full list of nominations, please click here.
