Des

David Tennant plays Dennis Nilsen in this captivating 3 part mini-series and this category is not the only time these two shows are simultaneously up for an award with each of the lead actors, Olly Alexander (Its A Sin) and David Tennant also set to battle it out for Best Performance too.

Normal People

Normal People represents Ireland and BBC at the National TV awards having aired in the UK in April 2020. 

It has been a huge hit on iPlayer with 16.2 million programme requests - To throw that into perspective it was a new iPlayer record, superseding the 10.8 achieved by Killing Eve and went on to become the most-streamed series of the year with 62.7 million views.

With 62.7million streaming views on iPlayer, whilst the outsider of the quartet of nominees for the award at the NTA's on Thursday night, Normal People should not be discounted in the betting given the enormous streaming audience that will be voting hard in this category.
