Sky One picked up its first ever BAFTA for Sky One documentary series ROSS KEMP ON GANGS which collected the Award for Factual Series at last night’s The British Television Academy Awards at The London Palladium. The award was one of two wins for Sky One, with TERRY PRATCHETT’S HOGFATHER picking up an Interactive Award.

Richard Woolfe, Director of Programming, Sky One, Two and Three, commented: “I am thrilled for Sky One to be recognised by BAFTA. ROSS KEMP ON GANGS and TERRY PRATCHETT’S HOGFATHER demonstrate the best of Sky One’s programmes and our unrivalled interactive services. I’m incredibly proud of these shows and any broadcaster would give their right arm to have them in their schedule.”

Sky One picked up a second BAFTA for Best Interactive for TERRY PRATCHETT’S HOGFATHER. The series, broadcast on Sky One in December 2006, became the most successful original programme in multi-channel history (excluding sports) with 2.86m viewers. THE TWELVE DAYS OF HOGSWATCH were bespoke five minute films created especially for the shows broadcast and featured the late Ian Richardson as the voice of death revealing the back-story to the characters, settings and events that appear in the drama. Sky One’s Aidan Conway and Giles Pooley and MOB Films’ Rod Brown and Ian Sharples produced the specials.
