I have just been sent the list of nominations for the Royal Television Society awards this Thursday, the exciting news is that, in addition to my nomination for Best Photography for Empire of the Desert Ants, the Madagascar series I spent the best part of two years working on has also been nominated for Best Wildlife Programme.
This was all great until I read that, for the Best Photography award, my competition consists of two little known series; Frozen Planet and Human Planet, and Madagascar is also up against the behemoth that is Frozen Planet…
I’m currently trying to decide whether to remove the champagne from the fridge and put it back on the dusty shelf where it usually lives or order another bottle.
