Naman Ramachandran U.K. broadcaster Channel 4 was the big winner at the Edinburgh TV Awards, winning six of the 20 awards on offer, including Channel of the Year.

The awards returned as an in-person event this year as part of the Edinburgh TV Festival, supported by Screen Scotland. Jodie Comer, who won the 2021 Variety Outstanding Achievement Award, won the best TV actor in a drama award for her performance in Jack Thorne’s Channel 4 drama “Help.” Actor, writer and director Diane Morgan received the 2022 Variety Outstanding Achievement Award in recognition of her extensive body of work, which ranges from Ricky Gervais’ “After Life” to “Charlie Brooker’s Weekly Wipe” and includes fan-favorite “Motherland” and and her much loved character Philomena Cunk.

Jury president Sue Vertue handed out the channel of the year award to Channel 4 director of content Ian Katz in what has been a very challenging year for the broadcaster, with the threat of privatization hanging over it.

Other Channel 4 wins included the best presenter category, which went to “The Big Breakfast” presenters AJ Odudu and Mo Gilligan and the breakthrough presenter award, which was presented to Munya Chawawa for “Complaints Welcome.” Channel 4’s late-night chat show “The Lateish Show With Mo Gilligan” won best entertainment series. “Joe Lycett Vs The Oil Giant,” which formed part of Channel 4’s climate change-related programming in advance of the 2021 United Nations COP26 conference, was the winner of the newly launched Climate Impact Award.
