BBC Three drama In The Flesh nominated for prestigious BAFTA awards

First-time nominee Luke Newberry is recognised for his role as Partially Deceased Syndrome (PDS) sufferer Kieren Walker.

This follows writer and creator Dominic Mitchell’s nomination for Best Writer British Academy Television Craft Awards, as well as receiving the accolade of BAFTA breakthrough Brit.

The first series, discovered by Drama North through ‘Northern Voices’, a BBC Writersroom scheme, was commissioned and shown on BBC Three last April and gained wide critical acclaim.

These latest nominations echo plaudits from other parts of the industry - the series was also shortlisted for the MIND Media Awards 2013, Best Drama Serial at RTS, Best Drama Serial at Broadcast Awards and Innovation in Multiplatform at RTS North West.

BBC Three Controller Zai Bennett says: "Not only is BBC Three the most watched digital channel in the hours it's on air, we're also the most BAFTA-nominated digital channel this year with six nominations, two of which are for the extraordinary In The Flesh which returns to BBC Three next month. I couldn't be prouder of the team, the producers, storytellers, actors and presenters who make BBC Three the ground-breaking, award-winning, incredible channel it is."

In The Flesh series two will be shown on BBC Three in the first week of May. Series one will be repeated on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer on Sunday 12 April.
