British drama series Lost Boys & Fairies has won the Seriencamp Official Competition Award here in Cologne.
The BBC series, which is from Duck Soup Films and sold internationally by All3Media International, is billed as “tender, glittering story of gay couple Gabriel and Andy’s journey to adoption, filled with humour, music, redemption and love.”
Starring Sion Daniel Young (Slow Horses) and Fra Fee (Rebel Moon), it follows Gabriel and Andy, who long to adopt a child and to do so they must convince their social worker Jackie (Elizabeth Berrington) that they’re up to the task. However, Gabe masks demons: the effects of decades of shame having grown up in a society that overwhelmingly treated being gay as a sin.
Welsh playwright Daf James was on the ground to collect the award, which was part of the Seriencamp Conference and Festival Awards Ceremony earlier today. Lost Boys and Fairies was his debut TV project.
