His nomination marks the only recognition for the Russell T. Davies penned series, which aired in early 2015.
The series was Russell T. Davies’s first TV Drama to feature gay Manchester since the late nineties drama Queer As Folk.
Cyril Nri is not the only out actor who receives a nomination, Ben Whishaw also picked up a nom for his role in the BBC 2 drama, London Spy.
