Join us Great British Talent Event on 14th June at Old Billingsgate, London

Upcoming: Great British Talent Event hosted by Jonathan Ross

This summer, in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the NFTS, Jonathan Ross is hosting the Great British Talent Event. A star-studded evening, focusing on the legendary talent which emerged from films made at Pinewood Studios; it will be the highlight of the NFTS' 40th Anniversary celebrations and is held in association with Pinewood Studios.

Taking place on 14th June at Old Billingsgate, it follows the success of last year's NFTS gala which celebrated great British comedy talent. Supporters of the NFTS joined luminaries of the comedy world including Pythons Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones; French and Saunders, Jo Brand, David Mitchell, Matthew Horne, Russell Howard, David Baddiel, Lenny Henry, Adrian Edmondson, Alan Rickman and Rowan Atkinson.

The gala raised over £300,000 in funding for scholarships, the curriculum and the NFTS Digital Village, as well as a lot of laughter. The night saw an original script from The Life of Brian auctioned and the Have I Got News For You team captains Ian Hislop and Paul Merton trying to prevent a guest from taking over the chair on their panel show by outbidding each other. To no avail, as she had the deeper pockets and the last laugh.
