North East talent brushing up for the BAFTAs - Part I
Middlesbrough writer and actor, Phil Dunning will taking to the red carpet this weekend for the BAFTA Craft Awards (which should surely be called the CRAFTAs?)
The Teeside creator and star of BBC Three sitcom Smoggie Queens is shortlisted in the categories of Writer: Comedy and Emerging Talent: Fiction.
Filmed and shot in Middlesbrough, a second series has been commissioned and is set to start filming in the summer.
Phil will be back in his best bib and tucker (which is likely to be pretty fabulous if he takes any inspiration from his Smoggie Queens character) next month for the BAFTA TV Awards where he’s up for Best Male Performance in a Comedy.
By May 12, his mantlepiece may be positively creaking.
Look out for Part II of our North-East-talent-at-the-BAFTAs-watch ahead of the May 11 ceremony.
