‘Fleabag’ named Best TV Series supported by Domino’s at the VO5 NME Awards 2017

‘Stranger Things’ misses out as Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s BBC show takes the prize

Fleabag has been given the title of Best TV Series supported by Domino’s at the VO5 NME Awards 2017.

The show’s creator and star Phoebe Waller-Bridge collected the award from actor Matt King, who plays Super Hans in Peep Show. She said: “Wow – fucking hell. This is literally the closest a sit-com writer could be to being a rockstar.

“My sister wrote all the music for the show so big up to her. Thank you so much to all of the musicians I listen to for inspiration. I couldn’t write without music so this is actually a really heartfelt thank you for doing everything you do to help what we do.”

The BBC comedy was up against Stranger Things, Game Of Thrones, Black Mirror, Humans and People Just Do Nothing.
