TV Baftas: The main nominations

This year’s Bafta TV Awards were a strange, subdued affair thanks to social-distancing regulations – but there were some deserving and unexpected winners. Stath Lets Flats beat out tough competition in the form of Fleabag and Derry Girls to take home the Scripted Comedy award, while The End of the F***ing World won Best Drama Series.

The Best Mini-Series award, meanwhile, went to Chernobyl, and Glenda Jackson won Leading Actress for Elizabeth Is Missing.

The annual ceremony was broadcast on BBC One and was the first in its history to be held virtually.

Richard Ayoade hosted the event in a closed and socially distanced studio, with winners accepting their awards via video link.

A new category voted for by the general public, called Must-See Moment and recognising memorable scenes from British television of the last year, was won by the recent Christmas special of Gavin and Stacey, for the moment in which Nessa proposed to Smithy.

Thanks for following along! Let's hope next year, things are back to normal, and we can watch as the acceptance speeches become more and more alcohol-fuelled
