The British Fantasy Award for Best Television/Film Production was an award given annually as part of the British Fantasy Awards. Under various names, it was awarded intermittently from 1973 until 2022. It was discontinued after the 2022 award season.
History
The award was initially conferred in 1973 as "Best Film". Due to a lack of interest from the award's recipients, it was discontinued after 1990. The award was revived in 2009 for both television and film productions In 2012 and 2013, an award was given for best screenplay; this was discontinued due to screenplays being difficult for the juries to read and acquire. From 2014 onward, the award was given to a film or television episode. From 2016 onwards, multi-part stories, miniseries, and entire seasons became eligible if credited to the same writer(s). The award was discontinued entirely after 2022.
