Doctor Who boss Russell T Davies to receive major award
for contribution to television
-------------------------------------------------------
"Russell's impressive body of work has helped place Wales
firmly on the world stage."
Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies is set to be honoured
with the award for Outstanding Contribution to Television
Award by BAFTA Cymru.
The Welsh writer, who has also penned TV hits including Queer
as Folk, Years and Years, and It's a Sin, will be presented
with the award at the BAFTA Cymru Awards on 5th October.
The exciting news was announced in an Instagram post from
BAFTA Cymru, reading: "We're delighted to announce that
writer-producer-showrunner, @russelltdavies63 OBE will
receive this year's Outstanding Contribution to Television
Award. Russell's impressive body of work has helped place
Wales firmly on the world stage."
Davies said: "Receiving this Outstanding Contribution Award is
an honour. It means people have watched something and
remembered something that you've done."
The writer is well known for his dedication to seeing Wales
represented in his work, most prominently when it was decided
that Cardiff would be the new home of Doctor Who when Davies
brought it back to screens in 2005.
A 2023 report revealed that Doctor Who contributed
approximately u134.6m in GVA (Gross Value Added) to the Welsh
economy between 2004 and 2021. It also found that Doctor Who's
return was a pivotal moment and became a catalyst for
investment in the Welsh creative industries over the past 15
to 20 years.
Previously speaking to WalesOnline, Davies reflected on the
importance of telling Welsh stories in his projects, saying:
"I was very keen to get Welsh stories into my work, like Doctor
Who was filmed in Cardiff, it's why I invented Torchwood which
is set in Cardiff Bay, because I'm passionate about getting
minorities on screen and I think Wales is a minority."
His next drama, Tip Toe, is set to air on Channel 4 next year
and will star Alan Cumming and David Morrissey.
Speaking to the Big Issue, Davies said: "Tip Toe is Queer as
Folk crossed with Years and Years. That's exactly what it is.
I'm very proud of it. It's radical. It's savage. And it's
hilarious.
"It is the strongest thing I've written - I do believe Queer as
Folk, Cucumber, It's a Sin and Tip Toe are the ones that will
be on my gravestone."

For what it's worth, from imdb.com .....
"Often described as a genius, Russell T. Davies is one of the leading >British television writers of his generation, who specializes in
emotional dramas, frequently with gay and sex-related adult themes.
After graduating from Oxford University, he initially took a BBC
Television director's course in the 1980s, and briefly moved in front of
the cameras to present a single episode of the BBC's version of Play
School (1964) in 1987, before deciding that his abilities lay in
production rather than presenting."
