Canneseries Honors Russell T Davies

Canneseries is honoring creator, writer and producer Russell T Davies (It’s a Sin, Years and Years) with its Excellence Award.

Davies said: “Thank you, that’s amazing! Thank you very much. I am absolutely honored to have this. I didn’t realize that it’s the first time it’s being given to a showrunner. And I completely agree, not with me but with recognizing the job. I devoted my life to television, I love television, I love how much Canneseries promotes television and the night I spent there at the Years and Years premiere, we will never forget. It was the most extraordinary night. The applause, the joy! It was really wonderful. I really appreciate how much you get television, how much you like it, how much you support it. Thank you, thank you very much. This means an awful lot, thank you.”
