NFTS Wins At RTS Programme Awards 2023

The winners of the RTS Programme Awards 2023 were crowned last night at London’s JW Marriott Grosvenor House and The National Film and Television School is proud to see almost 40% of the winning productions were delivered by National Film and Television School graduates!

With wins across categories from Comedy and Drama to Documentary and History, NFTS graduates poured their passion and talent into the genre defining productions of the past year. 

In addition to the 30 competitive categories, Charlotte Moore, BBC’s Chief Content Officer, who was awarded an NFTS Honorary Fellow in 2022 and is a member of the School’s Board of Governors, was presented with the prestigious Judges’ Award. The judges commented: 

“Through it all, Charlotte’s been an outstanding leader for the BBC’s content. She’s championed it, defended it, pushed it to be the best it can be. And while doing all that, she’s remained approachable and accessible…always keen to find the next show that will resonate with viewers, always determined to make the next turn of the wheel.”
