TV - BAFTA Television Awards


Killing Eve and Patrick Melrose were the big winners as this year's winners of British Academy Television Awards were announced last night. Here's the full list...

See the winners of the Television Craft Awards which were announced last month

Killing Eve, the spy-action thriller, won three BAFTAs, for Drama Series, Leading Actress for Jodie Comer (beating her co-star Sandra Oh to the awards) and Supporting Actress for Fiona Shaw.

Patrick Melrose, based on Edward St Aubyn’s semi-autobiographical novels, received the BAFTA for Mini-Series and Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays the titular character, won the first BAFTA of his career for Leading Actor.

The BAFTA for Supporting Actor went to Ben Whishaw for his portrayal of Norman Scott in the drama series A Very English Scandal, a drama that also did very well in the Craft Awards.

In the comedy categories Steve Pemberton won the BAFTA for Male Performance in a Comedy Programme, with Inside No. 9. Jessica Hynes took home the BAFTA for Female Performance in a Comedy Programme for There She Goes and the award for Scripted Comedy was won by Sally4Ever.

The BAFTA for Entertainment Programme was awarded to Britain’s Got Talent for the second year running and A League of Their Own received the award for Comedy Entertainment Programme. And for once, Ant and Dec missed out on an award as Lee Mack won his first BAFTA, in the Entertainment Performance category for Would I Lie To You? However, they did get the BAFTA for Reality & Constructed Factual with I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Sadly for us, the Bros documentary, After The Screaming Stops, missed out on the award it was nominated for this time, Specialist Factual, which went to Suffragettes with Lucy Worsley.

However, the England football team (kind of) won something as the 2018 World Cup Quarter Final: England v Sweden triumphed in the Sport category, while the award for Live Event was presented to The Royal British Legion Festival of Remembrance.

Virgin Media’s Must-See Moment, the only award voted for by the public and the only award that the show actually received this year, was won by Bodyguard.

The Special Award was presented to Nicola Shindler in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the television industry. In 1998 Nicola founded Red Production Company, which has been responsible for producing some of the most talked-about series over the past few decades including Clocking Off, Happy Valley, the Emmy Award-winning Queer as Folk and most recently Trust Me for BBC One, starring Jodie Whittaker.

The Fellowship, the highest accolade the Academy bestows, was presented to Joan Bakewell in recognition of an illustrious career that spans over 50 years. Joan Bakewell has presented some of the UK’s most enduring factual programming including Late Night Line-Up (1965-72) and Heart of the Matter (1988 – 2000). She also wrote and presented the BBC four-part series Taboo, a personal exploration of the concepts of taste, decency and censorship, and is currently a presenter on Portrait Artist of the Year for Sky Arts.



Here's the full list of categories awarded last night, with the ** WINNERS ** highlighted, alongside Susan Omand's OMAND OPTION predictions from earlier this year. Point and laugh at her as you will.
