The UK Adult Film and Television Awards (UKAFTAs) were a short-lived annual awards ceremony for the
adult industry in the United Kingdom, which ran for two years from 2006 to 2008. Redzone Pictures and adult video producer Phil Black organised the awards in an attempt to promote the adult film industry in the UK.[1][2]
The inaugural awards show was held on 17 November 2006 at the
Hammersmith Palais, London and was hosted by
adult film performer and
directorBen Dover.[1] There were around thirty award categories, honouring performance, production, and technical achievements in film, television, and the
Internet. Notable award nominees included the TV series The Secret Diary of a Call Girl, starring
Billie Piper, which was nominated for "Best Soft Core Production" at the 29 November 2007 Awards.[3][4][5]
The 2008 awards were the last to be held, with one commentator, in 2013, attributing the award's demise to insufficient financial backing or bad planning and promotion.[6]
