Matt Smith, Jenna Coleman and Steven Moffat arrived at the
Waldorf-Astoria in New York yesterday (Monday 20 May) to pick up an
Institutional Peabody Award for Doctor Who. But that's not the only
good news on the awards front - Doctor Who has also been nominated in
the Best Drama Series category in the TVChoice Awards 2013.
The prestigious George Foster Peabody Awards celebrate
excellence in radio and television broadcasting and is one of the
highest honours in television. The awarding committee described the show
as:
"Seemingly immortal, 50-years-old and still running,
this engaging, imaginative sci-fi/fantasy series is awarded an
Institutional Peabody for evolving with technology and the times like
nothing else in the known television universe".
The Peabody
Award is voted for by a panel of distinguished academics, television
critics, industry practitioners and experts in culture and the arts. The
TVChoice awards are voted for by you, the audience. Now in its 17th
year honouring TV's most popular stars and shows, you can back your
favourites by voting online or via the magazine forms.
The
TV Choice Awards will take place on Monday 9 September so hopefully
Matt and Jenna will have another trophy to pick up! Good luck to all the
nominees!
