The BAFTA-winning producer of Netflix hit 'The End of the F***ing World' has called out the British Academy on rules that prevent him from receiving an award. Details:
"I write this as a winner, who has been made to feel like a loser," says Dominic Buchanan in an open letter., has penned an open letter in which he calls out the British Academy for rules that, despite his show recently winning the BAFTA TV Award for best drama, prevent him from receiving a physical award, while also addressing efforts to improve inclusivity.
However, the producer says he later discovered that despite his production company — Dominic Buchanan Productions — being credited, he found out he wouldn't be receiving the famed BAFTA mask, with the rules stipulation that it only goes to the four people named in the entry. In this case, it was writer Charlie Covell, director Lucy Forbes , producer Jenny Frayn and executive producer, Clerkenwell's Ed Macdonald.
Buchanan, who is from South London and of Jamaican heritage, also discussed his interactions with BAFTA over the years, particularly with regards to race.
Buchanan says the decision to exclude him wasn't down to racism, with his white colleague fully deserved of their awards. But he questions the arbitrary rules that prevent him from receiving an award and how they will impact his future abilities at pushing others up through the system.
