After winning best drama category at the Baftas, writer and co-creator of Blue Lights Declan Lawn spoke about his overwhelming moment – and the surprising heaviness of the Bafta award itself.
The series follows a batch of newly-qualified officers navigating policing in a post-conflict Northern Ireland.
Blue Lights won for its second series and beat BBC One’s Sherwood, Netflix’s Supacell and BBC One’s Wolf Hall: The Mirror And The Light.
The drama, which is currently filming its third series, follows police officers on patrol in various communities throughout Belfast, tackling paramilitaries, corruption, and legacy issues.
speaking to BBC Radio Ulster’s Evening Extra, said he did not anticipate the show getting award recognition in its second season.
