"2022 was a year of celebration and reflection for broadcasters: the BBC centenary, 40 years of Channel 4, and even the country's youngest public-service broadcaster turned 25. While there remain questions about the direction that UK television is travelling, it is far from diminishing.
The sheer vitality of British television is on display in this list of the best new British programmes from 2022. There are sobering and necessary reflections on the state of the nation through the lens of class, race and money (Grenfell, Brian Cox: How the Other Half Live, The Real Mo Farah). Vibrant storytelling can be found in the evocative and haunting Sherwood or in the playful gothicism of The Sandman. Of course, there is also love and joy to be found in the triumphant Heartstopper."
