Ex Birmingham Workshoppers get nominated for BAFTAS

Two original Birmingham TV Workshoppers, Felicity Jones and Kia Pegg (now with the Nottingham Workshop) narrowly missed out on BAFTA's this year.  Nottingham Workshopper Jack O'Connell did win Best Newcomer last night and thanked leader Ian Smith.  Shame that Felicity didn't win as I'm sure she would have thanked the genius of Colin Edwards, former Birmingham TV Workshop leader.
Who will be the next workshopper up for an award?  Maybe First Act's Helen Monks for her main role in 'Raised By Wolves'? Or perhaps Laura Rollins for her role in Doctors?
One thing's for sure - workshoppers are everywhere and achieving great things, on and off screen!
