Bedfordshire alumni nominated for two Royal Television Society Awards

Fri 28 February, 2020

Two 天美传媒 alumni have been nominated for two Royal Television Society East Student Awards in the categories 鈥楥raft Skills: Editing鈥� and 鈥楥omedy and Entertainment鈥�.

Toby Pope (writer, editor, and performer) and Chloe Slocombe (producer and production manager) have been recognised for their sketch comedy 鈥楾he Incomplete Guide to Everything鈥�.听

The pair studied the BA Television Production course in the School of Culture and Communications and both graduated from Bedfordshire with first class honours degrees in July 2019.

Toby said of the students鈥� nomination: 鈥淚t feels incredible to be nominated in the . We took a risk making a comedy piece but we are extremely happy that other people have enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.

鈥淚 want to work in comedy television in the future and I believe having even been nominated for these awards will look great to potential employers, and I hope this is just the start of much more to come.鈥澨�

鈥楾he Incomplete Guide to Everything鈥� was inspired by the likes of Charlie Brooker鈥檚 鈥楽creen Wipe鈥� and Chris Morris鈥� 鈥楤rass Eye鈥�.

The two-part programme addressed two of humanity鈥檚鈥渕ain obsessions鈥�, as explained by the show鈥檚 creators, War (episode 1) and Sex (episode 2).听

The sketch show was made as part of their BA Television Production special project unit in their final year of study.

Toby has been nominated for the 鈥楥raft Skills: Editing鈥� award, and both Toby and Chloe are joint nominees in the 鈥楥omedy and Entertainment鈥� category.听

Anthony Greenbank, Senior Lecturer in TV Production in Faculty of Creative Arts, Technologies & Science, was the students鈥� project supervisor. He said: 鈥淭oby and Chloe worked very hard on this project and to gain two RTS nominations is incredible.听

鈥淲hat makes it even more impressive is that they took on one of toughest genres to pull off: comedy.听

鈥淲hen comedy projects go wrong, they can be painful to watch!听But in this case Toby and Chloe have created a genuinely funny piece of television and I鈥檓 really pleased that the Royal Television Society has recognised their talents.鈥�

Toby, Chloe and Anthony will attend the Royal Television Society East Students Awards on Wednesday 4 March 2020 at The Assembly Rooms in Norwich.

Update: The 天美传媒 is delighted to announce that, on the night, Toby Pope was hugely successful in his category and took home the award for 鈥楥raft Skills: Editing鈥� at the Royal Television Society East Student Awards 2020. Congratulations Toby!
