A celebration of one of the most original and revolutionary broadcasters of his generation and genre-Keith Floyd. The first telly chef to take cooking out of the studio and into the real world, he cheerfully tore up the telly rule book, addressing the cameraman or letting the audience in on the goings-on off camera and even shoved The Stranglers all over his soundtrack. This tribute is a romp through his stunning TV oeuvre with tributes from some of the biggest names in food and TV today including Rick Stein, Marco Pierre White, Ken Hom, Gary Rhodes and Rory Bremner.
Reason for submission in English (up to 150 words): A great mix of archive and interviews combines to make a thoroughly enjoyable tribute of a TV legend.

How to be Old combines comedy performance and archive in the fictional character of actor, Nicholas Craig (Nigel Planer). As Craig takes pot shots at his fellow thespians so the archive reflects his preoccupations – the strenuous death, the cough, the “Oldshire” accent, battleaxes in bonnets and so on.
The archive research went hand in hand with the writing. Much of what ended up on screen was determined by the footage offered up to the writer by the team. Equally, the writer would have the most obscure and downright awkward requirements in order to support his wayward theses. Shot requirements included: “Old men in a hurry”, “use of the monocle/glasses/stick work”, “the chesty cough” and “tea drinking”. These weren’t required as singles but as sequences making the job even harder but the comedic point even stronger.

Cookery show featuring aspirational but achievable recipes from the world’s top chefs mixed with edited highlights from the very best of the BBC food archive. Hosted by James Martin each show features two guest chefs who cook a recipe and a celebrity guest who faces their food heaven or food hell, a dish featuring their favourite ingredient and their least favourite ingredient, which is cooked by James depending on the outcome of the studio and viewers’ vote. The guest chefs also face the legendary omelette challenge! The archive is interspersed throughout the show.
SK is unique in its use of classic highlights as an inspiration for new content. Chefs in the studio create dishes inspired by the content played in archive clips and often the entertainment aspects of the show reflect the tone and content of the archive footage. The programme which is filmed live creates an inclusive club atmosphere allowing existing food enthusiasts and newcomers to enjoy the very best of British food television.

Clive Anderson guides us through the history of television’s love affair with animals via the things that go wrong. Never work with children or animals is an old adage, but tv continues to ignore it. And so mistakes and mishaps are bound to happen. Steve Leonard tells the story of dragging fresh meat behind him in a vain effort to get a cheetah to chase him; Gaby Roslin remembers offending all owners of Mexican hairless dogs during Crufts; Nick Baker recalls being only a broom handle away from the jaws of a shark and Nigel Marven talks about making programmes with computer-generated dinosaurs.
Even though it covers popular archive territory, an enormous amount of effort went into this programme with regard to archive research. It took imagination to approach familiar clips in a new way and foresight to show more recent archive less familiar to the viewer. It is jam packed and makes for an insightful and entertaining watch.

“The British are an island race – abroad is really abroad. Not just across the border but actually over the horizon. It’s far away, outlandish, exotic and scary. Frankly, we’re terrified of it.” The story of the Great British Foreign Holiday as told by Mark Benton. Wall to wall archive with comedy voice over, the programme tells the story of foreign travel from The Grand Tour to Torremolinos. It’s a tribute to a world of sunburnt bodies, half built hotels and cut price flights - in short, the terror of “abroad”.
The production was tasked with coming up with unusual footage, archive which hadn't been seen before. They came up with 60' of riveting, funny and bizarre examples of Foreign Holidays past which managed to conjure up a world that seemed both familiar and alien. Working closely with the comedy team, the production created a truly unique take on the Brit abroad and archive programming.

It’s the end of an era – the decade no-one can pronounce is coming to an end and Channel 4 is celebrating by finding the greatest music and TV programmes of the past ten years.
On a very limited budget we managed to secure the most amazing deals for the archive to make this possible. We think we did the decade's best TV justice!
