She explained on behalf of everyone at EastEnders: ‘we are absolutely delighted and honoured to receive the BAFTA Television Craft Award Special in our 40th anniversary year.

‘EastEnders and BBC Studios have a proud tradition of training new talent and broadening existing skillsets, and you only have to look at the industry to discover just how many individuals, who are now at the top of their game within their specific fields, started or spent some of their careers at EastEnders, as well as those who still work on the show today.’

‘We are thrilled that BAFTA has awarded EastEnders with the Television Craft Special Award’, is what Charlotte Moore, Outgoing Chief Content Officer had to say about the great news.
