Neil Cross has a nomination at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards in the Writer – Drama category for Luther, which also picks up a nod for its titles. Cross is up against the writers of Cucumber, Doctor Foster and Wolf Hall.
Earlier this year Luther’s Idris Elba won a Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for his performance in the title role.
Wolf Hall has six nods, the most of any show competing at the April awards ceremony. Three dramas take four nominations apiece: Fortitude, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell and London Spy. All up, there are 80 nominations for over 50 shows across 20 competitive categories.
Pukeko Pictures co-production with the UK’s ITV, Thunderbirds Are Go, has a nomination in the Original Music category. One of the creators of the 1960s original show, Sylvia Anderson, died last week.
