Canadian Screen Award For Best TV Movie
The Canadian Screen Award for Best TV Movie is a Canadian television award, presented by the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television to honour the year's best Canadian television film. Originally presented as part of the Gemini Awards, since 2013 it has been presented as part of the Canadian Screen Awards. From the inception of the Gemini Awards in 1986 until 1994, separate awards were presented for television films and miniseries; since 1995, they have usually been merged into a single Limited Series or Dramatic Program category covering both types of programs, but were sometimes split out into separate categories again in the latter half of the 2000s. As of the 8th Canadian Screen Awards in 2020, dramatic limited series are now eligible for the Canadian Screen Award for Best Dramatic Series instead of either having their own category or being merged with television films.

Screen Two
''Screen Two'' was a British television anthology drama series, produced by the BBC and transmitted on BBC2 from 1985 to 1998 (not to be confused with a run of films shown on BBC2 under the billing ''Screen 2'' between April 1977 and March 1978). Following the demise of the BBC's ''Play for Today'', which ran from 1970 to 1984, producer Kenith Trodd was asked to formulate a new series of one-off television dramas. However, while ''Play for Today''s style had been a largely studio-based form of theatre on television, the new series was shot entirely on film. This was an attempt by the BBC to repeat the success of Channel 4's television films, many of which had been released in cinemas. From 1989 to 1998, a companion series, ''Screen One'', was broadcast on the more mainstream BBC1. After appearing more sporadically in the mid-1990s, ''Screen Two'' came to an end as the BBC moved its attentions away from single dramas and concentrated production on series and serials instead.
