Whether you’d heard of him or not before now, it has become undeniable. Big Eats currently airs on Dave, but if this news doesn’t initiate a Taskmaster-style feeding frenzy then something will have gone terribly wrong. It’s the kick in the arse that the cookery genre urgently required, and Big Zuu is one of the most likable, engaging faces on TV. If you haven’t seen Big Eats, this should be all the encouragement you need. Who would have thought, going into this ceremony, that Big Zuu would emerge as one of the biggest winners? Zuu won twice, for best features and best entertainment performance, for Big Zuu’s Big Eats. Photograph: Rob Youngson/UKTVīut this is a snubs and surprises piece, and not all surprises are bad. Undeniable stars … Hyder, Big Zuu and Tubsey in Big Zuu’s Big Eats. But not to won anything at all? That just makes Bafta look foolish. It isn’t as if It’s a Sin was egregiously robbed by an unworthy competitor. Sean Bean (who won best actor) was incredible in it, just as Jodie Comer (who won best actress) was incredible in Help. Time, which won best mini-series, was tight and urgent and contained two stupendous performances at its heart. Which isn’t to say the shows that beat it are undeserving.

Who knows? But whatever the reason, the defining television series of 2021 is now one of the least recognised. Maybe each category assumed It’s a Sin would walk every other category. Perhaps they thought the show had already got enough love, and chose to put the spotlight on a less visible series. What happened is that, in every single category that contained a nomination for It’s a Sin, a different group of people snubbed it. There wasn’t word from on high that It’s a Sin needed to be punished.
I’ve sat on Bafta juries before, and they’re all isolated. Now, we should probably be clear that this doesn’t represent a grand conspiracy. Photograph: Ben Blackall/Channel 4Īnd yet, nothing. Genuinely bewildering … It’s a Sin fails to win any Baftas.
