Top TV Programmes Compete Against Each Other at RTS Awards Show
The nominations for this year's Royal Television Society programme have recently been announced - as they once again aim to recognise some of the best works aired on television.
Included in the nominees is the English Civil War drama, The Devil's Whore, which has received a nod for best drama serial.
The scriptwriter for the show, Peter Flannery, has been shortlisted for the best writer award, while the programme's star, Andrea Riseborough, has been nominated for best actress.
Competing with Riseborough are Anna Maxwell-Martin for her performance in Poppy Shakespeare, and Clare Foy for her performance in Little Dorrit.
The show is up against Criminal Justice and Place of Execution for the title of best drama serial.
The best documentary category has three contenders: True Stories - a film about child abuse; Cutting Edge: A Boy Called Alex Walker - a film about an Etonian schoolboy musician with Cystic Fibrosis; and The Fallen - a three-hour piece about the British soldiers killed in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The best drama series category has Welsh language television drama series Con Passionate competing with the historical crime drama, City of Venice.
The Fixer, a drama about a state-sponsored assassin, is also contending within the category.
The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall, is competing for the best single drama award, along with The Curse of Steptoe and Margaret Thatcher - The Long Walk To Finchley.
The Bill, EastEnders and Coronation Street are also head to head for the best soap and continuing drama award.
Hit reality shows The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing will compete with one another and Harry Hill's TV Burp for the title of best entertainment programme.
E4 picked up one nomination, for best comedy performance by Simon Bird in the teenage comedy, The Inbetweeners.
He will go up against Peter Kay in Britain's Got The Pop Factor (And Possibly The Next Jesus Christ Soapstar Strictly On Ice) and James Corden in Gavin & Stacey.
All of these shows and more can be viewed on a satellite TV service, such as Sky TV.
Satellite TV enables you to choose from a vast array of entertainment channels, while some satellite TV services also offer a personal video recording (PVR) option - so you can record your favourite shows to watch whenever you please.
