With the surge of Grime talent making their way onto our TV screens, it was only right that they receive recognition from the biggest stage of them all – the BAFTA awards. This recognition came in the form of nominations for two of the biggest (pun intended) Grime stars on TV at the moment: Big Narstie and Big Zuu, for their shows ‘The Big Narstie Show’ and ‘Big Zuu’s Big Eats‘. Although the latter of the two was not successful in winning the award, the nomination is still a massive achievement and was the perfect way to kick off the second season of the show.

We didn’t win a BAFTA but we represented the culture and we’re back this Monday with season 2 so the mandem soon win. I wanna thank everyone that’s supported our journey and got us to this place, we are working to come back harder and stronger so you know the vibes ❤️❤️❤️ pic.twitter.com/1Igm0ZXcuV

However, ‘The Big Narstie Show‘ saw huge success with a win at the awards show, with a celebratory speech from the hosts Big Narstie and Mo Gilligan for winning in the Comedy Entertainment Programme category.

Well done to The Big Narstie Show, which has beaten some tough completion (most of it involving @romeshranga!) to win the BAFTA for Comedy Entertainment Programme 😂🥳 pic.twitter.com/WFKpn1v30N
