The Annual TWNH Awards

Ta-dah!  What self-respecting drama reviewer can avoid awards?  Oh it was such a hard choice etc etc but in this our first ever year, we have started when the blog began, in May.  Was there anything worth noting beforehand?  Well, probably, so our apologies in advance, but we're lazy.  Nominees are a bore, so where there's been more than one serious contender, we've let them share the crown.


Best in show (actor) - Ashley Walters for 'Top Boy'; Alun Armstrong for dying so admirably in 'Garrow's Law'


Best in show (actress) - Jayd Johnson for 'Field of Blood'; Ruth Negga for 'Shirley'


Worst in show (actor) - Rafe Spall for a grand-guignol tour-de-force in 'Shadow Line'


Worst in show (actress) - Tara Fitzgerald for keeping a poker face in 'Body Farm'


Biggest TWNH - 'Injustice', for the whole plot


Most effective and least obtrusive music - 'Top Boy' (Brian Eno, take another bow)


Most obtrusive and least effective music - 'Shadow Line' (Emily Barker, Martin Phipps: sorry, we liked the song itself!)


Sounds-like award - Downton Abbey (Upstairs Downstairs, anybody?); Scott & Bailey (had everything Cagney and Lacey had except New York and several moustaches)


Best show - Black Mirror, for doing what it said on the tin, imaginatively.
