Of those six, OSD Alumni Richard Gadd won three himself for Outstanding Writing, Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series.

In his acceptance speech for Outstanding Limited or Anthology series, Gadd said, ‘The only constant across any success in television is good storytelling…so, take risks, push boundaries, explore the uncomfortable, dare to fail in order to achieve.’ These are wise words that every creative should aim to live by. The transformative power of storytelling truly was on show last night, a moving and well-deserved night of success.
