'End of the F***ing World' Producer Calls Out BAFTA for Preventing Him From Receiving Award

hollywoodreporter.com:

Dominic Buchanan, the British producer of Netflix hit series The End of the F***ing World, has penned an open letter in which he calls out the British Academy for rules that, despite his show recently winning the BAFTA TV Award for best drama, prevent him from receiving a physical award, while also addressing efforts to improve inclusivity.

In a lengthy letter entitled "My TV Show Won a BAFTA for Best Drama But I Won't Get a BAFTA Mask,"Buchanan describes the bumpy eight-year journey that the project took from taking The End of the F***ing World from comic book to screen, how it initially envisaged as a film with Film4, before going into turnaround and later transforming into a TV show with Clerkenwell Films, with Channel 4 and then Netflix.
