The film’s creator, Adam Tyler, won Writer. TrueTube’s success on the night continued with a win in the Drama category for Like Me, a film about the perils of social media.

Maddie Moate triumphed in the Presenter category, winning her first BAFTA and recognising her work on CBeebies’ Do You Know?, the show that explores how everyday objects are made and work for the pre-school audience.
