Welcome to Lagos, Flying Monsters 3D and Kim Longinotto’s Pink Saris are among the non-fiction/factual nominees for the 2011 British Academy Television Awards, to be held May 22.
In the non-fiction and factual categories (factual series, specialist factual, single documentary, features and current affairs), BBC programs racked up 10 nominations in total, while Channel 4 and/or More 4 programming received eight nominations and Sky programs were nominated in two categories. The entertainment category was split between two nominations for the BBC and two for ITV.
The list is notable for the appearance of the first 3D nominee: the David Attenborough vehicle Flying Monsters 3D from Atlantic Productions for Sky 3D. However, it’s also notable for one conspicuous omission. Big Fat Gypsy Weddings is absent from the main list of nominees, but is a nominee for the YouTube Audience Award, voted on by members of the public.
