BAFTA TV Nominations 2017

Earlier on today, the 2017 BAFTA TV nominations were revealed at an event at BAFTA which saw last year's big winner Michaela Coel read out the nominations alongside Broadchurch actor Andrew Buchan.

Netflix drama The Crown picks up the most nominations with five to its name, followed by Damilola, Our Loved Boy, Happy Valley and Fleabag who have each received three nominations.


Whilst those are the successes, it has to be said that this year's nomination have some glaring omissions, for example, Coronation Street has been overlooked in the Soap category, and The Night Manager and the close to perfect third series of Line Of Duty have also been hugely overlooked with just one Supporting Actor nomination each for Daniel Mays and Tom Hollander.


I guess there's always the publicly voted for 'Virgin TV's Must See Moment' which sees Urgent Exit Required from the third series of Line of Duty nominated alongside five others.


Once again BBC Three have proved that they're still a big part of British television, picking up eight nominations across Fleabag, People Just Do Nothing, Murdered By My Father and Thirteen.


And it's a great year for first-time nominees with nominations for Jodie Comer, Nikki Asuka-Bird and Daniel Mays in the Leading and Supporting performance categories.


This year's nominations also sees a well deserved and long overdue nomination in Comedy & Comedy Entertainment for Dave's entertainment format Taskmaster.
