Danny Mays, who accepted the award on behalf of Des, commented: “I’d love to give a huge, heartfelt thank you to all of the readers of Radio Times who voted Des Best Drama at this year’s awards. We are absolutely thrilled to bits, thank you so much. The response to the show has been phenomenal, with over 15 million viewers tuning in to watch the series and for that we couldn’t be prouder. Collectively as a group, we set out to tell the true story, the real story behind the controversial Dennis Nilsen case. We wanted to challenge the audience’s perceptions by highlighting the plight of the victims, their extended families, the police investigation, and of course the young homeless and vulnerable who were at the absolute centre of our story.”

It means so much to us that it’s connected with everyone who reads the Radio Times and everyone who watched the show this year. It was great fun to make and it’s meant so much to us.”
