Spooks BAFTA awards 2010

[Tea Lady]

Spooks has been nominated for a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) Television Craft Award in the category of "Sound Fiction." (?)

The winner will be announced on the 23rd May. Spooks is up against Red Riding 1974, Cranford, and Wallander.


I thought I would open this thread so we can add more nominations which are certain to come when the BAFTA Television nominations are announced (best actor, best actress etc) on the 10th May.

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick as they say.

Fingers crossed for PF as best actor.

Very glad that it has been nominated, I haven't heard of any of the others so can't really comment but fingers crossed. Hopefully some nominations in some other catagories. There are definately actors who are deserving. Peter for definate, Nicola and Hermione, Richard for that matter too!

Sound Fiction? Eh?

Anyways, it's always nice to see Spooks win awards!

Wallander better not win (It's one of my pet hates... not that I've ever watched it, but the whole idea of it seems like a whole load of rubbish. )

Has SPOOKS won anything before, being new to the series I am a little in the dark, I would have thought that it would have done by now, certainly as it seems to me that the early series were by far the best.
Fingers crossed that some stuffy costume drama doesn't pip it to the post. I agree PF should be due something as he is, I understand from posts on the site, the only remaining original cast member.
Good Luck Chaps!

Condor, there is a list of awards on the Spooks Wikipedia page if you scroll down towards the bottom. Basically it won BAFTAs in 2003 and 2008 and was nominated 2005,2006, and 2009. I guess its most prominent award nomination of recent times was for the International Emmy for series 7. Unheard of for a series in its 7th year.

PF certainly deserves Best Actor - he was utterly superb in season 8. Even more superb than he was in the other seven.

Sorry T Lady, like a good agent I should have done my research first. I must say I would have been very surprised if it hadn't won anything.
