Russell T Davies, a well-known television writer and producer, is set to receive a major honor at the 2025 Bafta Cymru Awards.

Davies is famous for his work as the showrunner of Doctor Who, the long-running BBC science fiction series, and is also recognized for his groundbreaking work in LGBTQIA+ drama. He described receiving the award as an 'enormous compliment. '

Russell began his career four decades ago as a graphic artist for the BBC children's program Why Don't You. Over the years, he has become a key figure in British television, especially after helping to revive Doctor Who in 2005. His influence on the show has lasted for more than 25 years, and he has been praised for creating stories that are inclusive and diverse. In addition to Doctor Who, Russell created a highly acclaimed drama in 1999 and later produced Cucumber, which was noted for its honest portrayal of the queer community. In 2021, his drama attracted 6. 5 million viewers across five episodes in less than two weeks. Russell has received several prestigious awards, including an OBE for services to drama in 2018 and being named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2022. He said that receiving the Bafta Cymru award means a lot to him because it shows that people have watched and remembered his work.

She will receive the Siân Phillips Award, which is given to a Welsh individual who has made significant contributions to film and television. Bethan's career has taken her to many places around the world, including war zones in Bosnia and Turkey and refugee camps in Sudan. She currently co-anchors Newyddion S4C and is nominated for another Bafta Cymru award for her coverage of the 2024 general election. Bethan said it was an 'absolute honor' to receive the award and hopes it will inspire young journalists, especially women, to keep searching for the truth.
