DRAMAS and documentaries filmed in and around the Bradford district, featuring local actors, a pair of daredevils and a farming family, are up for top TV awards.

The Syndicate and All Creatures Great and Small are among TV dramas nominated for the National Television Awards, while Low Moor actor Bradley Johnson is up for Best Serial Drama Performance for his role in Emmerdale.

Emon and Jamiul Choudhury will battle Love Island, The Great British Bake off and Masterchef in the Challenge Show category. The uncle and nephew won BBC2's Race Across the World, which gripped viewers in the first lockdown last year, travelling 15,000 miles across South America without flights, phones, the internet or bank cards. In a nail-biting finale, the pair reached the winning point by 20 seconds.

Emon, of Saltaire, said: "I know how much it means for the production team to be nominated. I'm more chuffed for them than us. The series created a lot of excitement. We've got a pretty decent chance. It was a show that was loved by everyone, it was on during lockdown. Before it we took it for granted that we could get on a plane and experience another country. We're just normal guys who applied for the show and got lucky."

In a touching moment in the popular series Emon and Jamiul were visibly shaken when they came across a group of barefoot children sleeping rough in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Emon placed everything he could spare in front of the children, including his playing cards, in the hope of bringing a little joy a desperate situation.

The NTAs nominees are up for a public online vote. The results will be revealed at a London ceremony broadcast live on ITV on September 9. TV dramas nominated include All Creatures Great and Small, shot in Little Germany and Broughton Hall near Skipton, featuring youngsters from Bradford performing arts school Articulate, Last Tango in Halifax, partly filmed in Ilkley, and The Syndicate, shot in Apperley Bridge and Burley-in-Wharfedale.
