TV 100: Michaela Coel

BBC’s Director of Content, Charlotte Moore, said of Michael's win: “Michaela Coel is a rare and special talent, both in front of and behind the camera, who has more than earnt her place at the top of this year’s list as writer, creator, co-director and lead of I May Destroy You.
