Tigress receive two RTS West of England nominations

Two entries put forward by Tigress for the 2015/2016 RTS West of England have been nominated for awards.

Firstly, food writer and cook Nigel Slater has been nominated in the Best On-Screen Talent category and is up against some very worthy opponents. Nigel has been nominated for Nigel Slater: Eating Together which was broadcast during the summer of 2015 on BBC1 and follows Nigel as he meets devoted home cooks across multi-cultural Britain and discovers how food in this country has never been so exciting. From noodles to dumplings, there are some dishes we all love to cook wherever we originate from in the world.

Also nominated for Best Daytime and Early Peak Programme or Series is Operation Meet the Street. In this series James Martin invites five celebrities, including Denise Lewis and Dave Myers, back to a street they grew up on to find out who lives there now and help them set up a real social network in a campaign designed to tackle the growing issue of loneliness in the UK

The winners will be announced at the RTS Gala Awards Party and Presentation Ceremony being held on Sunday 6th March at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre.
