Furthermore, we posted two of the Best Science Documentary nominations: ‘Inside Nature’s Giants - Sperm Wale’ (Windfall Films for Channel 4) and ‘My Life as a Turkey’ (Passion Pictures for BBC Two). ‘Elizabeth Taylor - Auction of a Lifetime’ (Silver River Productions for Channel 4) was nominated for Most Entertaining Documentary, and Clare Johns has been nominated in the Best Newcomer Documentary category for ‘Panorama: The Truth about Adoption’ (Films of Record for BBC One).
