This year, two remarkable figures were presented with Outstanding Contribution Awards. Having been unable to collect his Outstanding Contribution Award in 2020 due to COVID, Graham Norton was honoured for helping to pave the way for TV entertainment over his extraordinary 30 year career, while the Outstanding Contribution Award for 2022 went to celebrated screenwriter Jack Thorne, who has created some of the most compelling and important pieces of television of the past few years.
The RTS Programme Awards seeks to recognise programmes which have made a positive contribution to their genre that year, worthy of acclaim by the industry and UK viewers.
