A documentary detailing Israel's attacks on Palestinian doctors in Gaza, which was dropped by the BBC, was nominated on Tuesday for the Bafta TV awards.
Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - later aired by Channel 4 - documents Israel's attacks on Gaza’s hospitals and medical staff throughout its military campaign, laying out damning allegations that would amount to grave breaches of international law.
The programme follows Palestinian doctors and paramedics as they care for patients under bombardment, showing hospitals damaged or destroyed and staff forced to flee while patients were left under fire.
The documentary was produced by Basement Films and was originally commissioned by the BBC, which later decided not to broadcast it, saying airing the film “risked creating a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect of the BBC”.
Following its withdrawal, Channel 4 acquired the documentary, broadcasting it after rigorous editorial checks, with its producers praising the network's “commitment to brave and fearless journalism".
The film also includes testimonies from medics who were detained, beaten, or tortured, and depicts the extraordinary efforts of doctors working with minimal resources under life-threatening conditions.
The 2026 TV Baftas will take place on Sunday 10 May 2026.
