The channel reached 72% of the population in March 2020 as the first lockdown began, delivered new formats such as Health Check Live and found innovative ways to keep reassuring brands such as The One Show and Countryfile on air. And in I May Destroy You, it was home to arguably the most influential show of the judging period.
RuPaul’s Drag Race UK ranks alongside Normal People as one of BBC Three’s standout shows and is a double category winner at this year’s awards. The channel is arguably the UK’s best for scripted comedy, with the conclusion of This Country, new instalments from Man Like Mobeen, Young Offenders and the under-rated Famalam and Enterprice.
