Filming My Father: In Life and Death has been shortlisted for best documentary in the Broadcast Awards 2016.

Liz  also won Broadcast Journalist of the Year at the Medical Journalists' Awards 2015, for the  film. The jury's citation:

Broadcasting requires you not only to find a great story, but a great way to tell it. Liz Tucker's intimate portrait of Steve Isaac's motor neurone disease and the effect on his family was delicately covered and compelling.

And the documentary was Highly Commended at the Association of International Broadcasting Awards. This was the first time in the history of the event that a Channel 5 programme has won recognition. The international jury said Verve's film was:

A thoroughly poignant and personal insight that drew the viewer into the drama of a family dealing the slow declien of the father through motor neurone disease. It felt extraordinarily personal and intimate.
