There seems to be a connection
The Black Lesbian Handbook nominated
The Black Lesbian Handbook was nominated today for the new Best Non-Scripted Online Short category in the Broadcast Digital Awards. It is up against David Attenborough, BBC3 and Vice. Winner announced at the end of June. It is the only All 4 original show nominated. A good one to go out on regarding me, Channel 4 and awards.
I got a particular kick when the series was nominated at the Banff Rocky Awards recently (Digital Unscripted Series category). The shortlist read:
- Cosmos
- I Was There: Boston Marathon Bombings
- Secrets of the Vikings
- The Black Lesbian Handbook
I believe they call that bathos.
bathos
ˈbeɪθɒs
noun
(especially in a literary work) an effect of anticlimax created by an unintentional lapse in mood from the sublime to the trivial or ridiculous.
