2016: Extra Time The Bafta Television Awards

MUSIC. Thank you. Good evening, everybody. You are very welcome to

the BAFTA Awards at the beautiful and atmospheric Royal Festival

Hall. Our next awards are a double for a single documentary and current

affairs. (LAUGHING). Think of it like a

multipac. And here is Reggie and the head of music at the University of

Life, Professor Green! A good song. Not such a great choice

of words. Good evening. Documentaries are usually

thought-provoking, shocking, and harrowing. These four documentaries

force you to sit down and take notice. Let's take a look at this

exceptional work. My son, the jihadi. I said I can't wait to meet

him. He said, I can't wait. There are two sides of him, my son and

then there is this other person he has become. Life after suicide. His

death was devastating for me. As I have since discovered it wasn't

unusual. Four out of every five people who take their lives are

male. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 50 in Britain. But I

didn't know any of that 11 years ago. I was just one of the many

people left in shock. Bitter Lake. At the end of the Second World War

president Roosevelt travelled to the great Bitter Lake in the middle of

the sores -- Suez Canal. He sent a warship to pick up the president.

The mission was to have powerful and disastrous consequences for the West

and in a strange way for Afghanistan is the bite Louis Theroux,

transgender kids. -- Afghanistan. For the last few months I have met

children who thought they were born in the wrong body. This person is

helping boys and girls it ever younger ages to transition. -- at.

And it goes to... My Son, the Jihadi.

APPLAUSE. Wow! Thank you. This is nerve-racking. I want to thank

Channel 4 for making this film. Especially any Flanigan and the

Executive Director. -- Amy. They gave us an incredible amount of

freedom to tell a story which is really important. I want to thank

everyone here on the stage and those who couldn't be here to date who

made the film. -- today. And most importantly, Sally and Michael, who

were so brave and courageous to allow us to tell this story.

APPLAUSE. Now the award for current affairs. They offer a unique window

into the world and tell stories that may otherwise be untold. The courage

of those lawmakers nominated tonight is incredible. And they are. Jihad,

a British story. Many of the men and women I have met have embraced a

stronger Islamic identity as a way of expressing anger. I learned not

to generalise the views of British Muslims. Everyone is different. Not

every Muslim feels really needed. The majority reject extremism.

Children of the Gaza war. It is hard to comprehend why parents would put

children in situations like this. Hamas says the camps keep children

off the streets and teaches values and martial arts for defence, but

they also learn about weapons and hatred. Outbreak, the truth about

Ebola. They want to kill him but are too scared to come close. I was

pushed into the back of a pickup. It was like watching a zombie movie. It

was crazy. Pure craziness. Escape from Islamic State, dispatches. They

have had family members killed. They were kept as slaves they have been

walking for two days with little food or water. -- slaves.

APPLAUSE. And it goes to... Outbreak: The Truth About Ebola.

APPLAUSE. Wow. This is a massive surprise. Thank you so much. When

you make a film about Ebola and go to West Africa for six months and

then come home you don't get invited to many parties.

(LAUGHING). No one wants to hear your war stories. Thank you very

much for inviting us tonight. I want to dedicate this award to the brave

people who fought this virus, the nurses, the doctors, the volunteers,

the survivors, and the families of the victims.

APPLAUSE. Thank you very much! Next up is the award for miniseries.

I love it a miniseries. It is the perfect choice, if, like JZ, you

aren't very committed. What? (LAUGHING). And here to present it,

Olivia and an actor from the Good Wife! What a fantastic religion it

is to present the award for miniseries! -- privilege. The one

category that proves that size doesn't really matter. And the

fantastic nominees are. The Enfield Haunting. KNOCKING NOISES. Hey! This

Is England, '90. I want you to marry me. Shut up. Marry me. Oh... Oh my

god. London Spy. When you introduced us... Not exactly. Our paths have

never crossed. Doctor Foster. They found a long white hair on his

staff. A long white hair's -- scarf. Didn't belong to anyone ask's --

hair? . -- else?. APPLAUSE. And it goes to... This is

England, '90! APPLAUSE

Wow. Oh... Thank you, BAFTA. What they said first of all, Channel 4

are amazing. They have absolutely left us to do what we do. It is

important for us. I will hand it to someone else because I am about to

cry. APPLAUSE. Umm. This was probably the

end of This is England. And, umm, you kind of dream of how you are

going to finish it. And this was probably the best, you know, the

dream you had was to come to the Baftas, the last chance to win

something for something that you love.

APPLAUSE. Now, we have the award for news

coverage and the award for factual series. And here is Katie Durham and

Christian Murphy. APPLAUSE. To create a great factual

series takes extraordinary skill and abilities to be at their best they

entertain, they challenge, and they shock. -- ability. And what is even

more incredible, they manage to do it week after week. Let's look at

four of the best exponents of this art from the last year. The

Detectives. I first heard his name when it became clear an

investigation was taking place. And this was the one who the media had

nicknamed Shovel Shelfer. I had never heard of him prior to that. I

did research into shoe he was. It was almost like a mini Jimmy Savile.

One of the victims said that if Savile did something then the next

week he would do the same. The tribe.

The Murder Detectives. What have we got? Some people in the community

coming forward and saying it is him and then he disappears, he goes to

America. Not a lot of hard evidence in my view. I am just looking at

him. Again, argue a murderer? Great Alman's Street. -- are you. I told

those people having a lung transplant that it is fine. I have

had one before. And you will eventually get out of hospital. And

it will be the most amazing thing you have ever done in your life.

APPLAUSE. And it goes to The Murder Detectives.

APPLAUSE. Thank you very much. Well, God, my

heart's beating out of my chest. Thank you so much to the Academy. I

think when I speak for all of us we say we are humbled by winning this

award against some amazing films. I'd like to thank Maven and Somerset

police for allowing us to make this film. I would like to thank Channel

4, who gave us an amazing amount of freedom, resources, time and gave us

the constraint creative control to make the film in the way we wanted

to, and particular thanks to Amy Flanagan, who is a joy to work

with. This award is for Nicholas Robinson. Thank you very much.

APPLAUSE Now, much of the subject matter

covered by the news reports nominated tonight is hugely

distressing. Despite this, the stories are told with sensitivity,

objectivity and professionalism and they deserve to be celebrated and

applauded on nights like this. The nominees are...

BBC News at six, Paris attacks special.

This is how a fun Friday night in the French capital for football

fans, concert-goers and people enjoying a quiet meal with friends

exploded into a waking nightmare. That FUD was a live round, and note

his colleague to the left of screen pointing a rifle directly at us. --

thud. Blood and Roses, and the degree of

panic. They have gone to a rock concert and ended up running for

their lives. No time to think, just to flee as the terrorists sprayed

the crowd with gunfire. Inside the cordon, forensic teams were

collecting samples. At least 87 people were murdered here.

Hungarian police have taken the line of least resistance and are now

letting these people back on the train. What happens now... Well, who

knows? And finding out is going to be hard. You have to go. Realising

this was not looking at all good... The world needs to see what happens

to these people. And the BAFTA goes to... Channel 4

news, Paris massacre. Well, BAFTA, thank you very, very

much. This is a wonderful thing, we worked very hard for it against

great competition, wonderful other teams were in the field. It was, I

would say, the most testing evening I have ever known in news

television. It was very, very, very emotional. It ripped the heart out

of Paris. It was a devastating experience. And it was a struggle to

get it to the screen, but our wonderful team... We all pulled

together and that was it. APPLAUSE It's the award for live event now.

Everyone loves watching live TV, it's a great opportunity to see true

panic in a celebrity's eyes. And here to present it from the Cure

city is... Ewan Ream. -- Iwan Rheon. Good evening. Now, in

the British TV industry there are few people more talented than those

who present and produce live events. They have a wonderful knack

of making hours of coverage remain incredibly exciting and

entertaining. Oh, unfortunately I don't so here's the nominations.

Standby, please, ladies and gentlemen. You're supposed to have

informed yourself before you come in. Oh, it's like an exam! I heard

they do it in schools. Sirree, who should I vote for?

So Tim Krul Poyet is the first to arrive. And there is Tim Peake.

Aboard the International Space Station. -- Tim Kopra. Finally!

# Rain, a drop of golden sun. Me, a name, I call myself, far a

long-awaited... I've been leading daily whale watch

tips for six years. I'm so sorry, I have just heard, this is incredible,

I've heard word that we have on our helicopter a blue whale. It is to

the south of us absolutely clearly at the surface. It's the largest

animal ever known to have lived on our planet, larger than any of the

dinosaurs. Blue whale. Blue whale. And the

BAFTA goes to Big Blue Live. While! It's very special for us and

very fitting today, it is so David Attoub's 90th birthday. -- Sir David

at a's. Nacho the programming started life and we are still doing

it today, and that is great. Thank you to BBC one for being bold enough

to commission such high-risk projects like this. We had an

incredible team who did deliver the impossible on-air and online. Just a

day before we went to we weren't sure because of the conditions that

would even see a whale, an hour before we had thick fog and 20

minutes into the final show we found that elusive blue wale. The ocean

put on an amazing spectacle for us, and it was thrilling to turn the

spotlight on such an important conservation story. It kind of goes

to show if you give nature a chance she'll come bouncing back. APPLAUSE

It's the sport award next! And when it comes to my sporting knowledge,

there's very little... No, that's the end of that sentence. So, to

present, please welcome Olympic gold-medallist Pendleton! APPLAUSE

-- gold-medallist Victoria Pendleton.

I think it's fair to say that British bought broadcasting remains

the envy of the world. And it's really easy to understand why when

you understand the exceptional quality of the sports productions

you're about to see -- sports broadcasting.

We knew he was special. Just keep an eye on Stokes at fifth slip. Diving

to his right. Oh, it's behind him! Magnificent, magnificent!

Coming down the outside, Many Clouds by two lengths. Laden Aspel,

back-to-back Grand National is, he wins on Many Clouds, Many Clouds has

won the Grand National. COMMENTATOR: Sanchez has scored an

absolute beauty! That was unstoppable, and so it

seems our pastoral. -- are Arsenal.

COMMENTATOR: Lining it up wide, O'Brien carries it himself,

stretches and scores, try number two for O'Brien, another one for Ireland

and this title maybe there's. And the BAFTA is awarded to the

Ashes. Goodness! Thank you, BAFTA. I'd like

to start by thanking ECB, Alastair Cook and the England team, it's

always rather nice to beat Australia at anything so congratulations to

them. I am thankful to work with an amazing production team, our

director, our amazing presenter, David bumble Lloyd, the voice of

cricket, David Gower, Ian Botham, Michael Holding, Michael Atherton,

Nasa Hussain, Ricky Ponting and Shane Warne. I would like to thank

CTV, our facilities company... But also... You're here tonight, aren't

you? I would like to dedicate these this award to the people at sky,

they are the unsung heroes, thank you very much and good night.

APPLAUSE Well, that's your lot. What an

evening. Thank you to all our winners and our nearly winners. And

to you for watching at home. Good night, everybody, goodbye!
