TV Baftas nominations in full with beloved shows snubbed for the first time ngocc

Nominations for the Bafta TV Awards (and Bafta TV Craft Awards) are dominated by four hit shows this year. Baby Reindeer tops the list with a total of eight nominations, followed by Mr Bates Vs the Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses - which have six apiece. But with 134 shows in total among the nominees, having a big number is still no guarantee of a gong - as the stars and makers of The Crown discovered last year when they were nominated for eight awards but came away empty-handed on the night.

In the performance awards, Baby Reindeer is among the contenders in the limited drama category while Richard Gadd is nominated for best actor along with Jessica Gunning and Nava Mau for best supporting actress. Slow Horses sees Gary Oldman up for best actor along with Christopher Chung and Jonathan Pryce battling each other - and many more - for best supporting actor.

David Tennant is nominated for best actor thanks to his turn in Rivals along with Katherine Parkinson as best supporting actress. And Toby Jones will also contest in the best actor category for his role as the campaigning Alan Bates, along with Monica Dolan as leading actress for her performance as Jo Hamilton in the ITV hit. She is also nominated in the supporting actress category for her performance in BBC1’s Sherwood.

David Tennant is up for a Bafta for his role as nasty Tony Baddingham, along with Katherine Parkinson as Lizzie 

First time nominees this year also include Danny Dyer for My Bigstuff and Stacey Solomon who is up for TWO for Sort Your Life Out - one for the programme and the other sees her up against Claudia Winkleman (Traitors), Graham Norton and Ant and Dec (Saturday Night Takeaway) for the entertainment performance gong.

Drama series this year is a stand-off between Blue Lights, Supacell, Sherwood and Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light. Female performance in a comedy sees a tough contest between Gavin and Stacey’s Ruth Jones, Alma’s Not Normal’s Sophie Willan, plus Big Mood’s Nicola Coughlan, among others, and best comedy is between Alma’s Not Normal, Brassic, G’Wed and Ludwig. Coronation Street has made it back into the best soap category, which also features Casualty and EastEnders - but no Emmerdale this year after the soap withdrew when a writer admitted assaulting his girlfriend, soon after the soap had won praise for its handling of a domestic violence storyline.
