“You’re obviously like me, when it’s a hot, warm night you think, ‘lecture,’ so thank you very much for joining me.” Tim Hincks begins as people have settled down into their seats, feeling a little drenched with sweat and clutching themselves closer so the packed auditorium doesn’t fill with unpleasant smells. As the sun beats down in London, most people would be loosening their ties and springing nearby to Green Park. Instead, us industry types wanted to bask in the intelligence, humour and wit of Tim Hincks - President of the Endemol Shine Group.

Speakers Zac Nicholson - The Honourable Woman Luke Menges - Life and Death Row The session minimally discussed lighting, and instead focused on the similarity and differences between crafting cinematography for fiction films and for non-fiction, specifically documentaries. The presenter used a quote to describe the central theme of the discussion perfectly. Quoting Alfred Hitchcock, he said ‘in Feature Film, the Director is God. In documentaries, God is the Director.’ This seemed to be the direction of the discussion, with Zac speaking from a fiction perspective and Luke representing non-fiction.

Under the sunny skies, peeking out in the unexpected chill of spring, the glamorous cast and crew of some of your greatest shows, series and one-off dramas took to the streets of London to celebrate their hard work. At the Theatre Royal, nestled in the capital's famed Drury Lane, the BAFTA Television awards, hosted by Graham Norton, got underway and the list of winners were announced with whopping amounts of praise. by Helen Langdon Following on from the TV Craft Awards a couple of weeks ago, Sunday night saw the Arqiva BAFTA TV Awards. In a night filled with glitz and glamour, the best of British TV was celebrated in London.
