BAFTA TV Awards Dominated by Traditional Broadcasters. “Time,” “Big Eats” & “Help” Sweep the Board

Last night’s awards gala saw the traditional television networks rule the roost with BBC prison drama “Time”, Big Zuu series “Big Eats” and COVID drama “Help” sweeping the board. The biggest surprise snub of the night was the Channel 4 series “It’s A Sin” which went home empty-handed despite having been nominated in 11 categories.

Jodie Comer picked up the lead actress award for her role in “Help,” although her co-star Stephen Graham wasn’t quite so lucky, with Sean Bean taking home the lead actor award for his role in “Time,” which he stars in alongside Graham.

Elsewhere, Ant and Dec scooped the best entertainment program award for “Saturday Night Takeaway” despite them firmly believing that they wouldn’t win this year, and the 62-year-running series “Coronation Street” snagged the coveted Soap and continuing drama category. One of the show’s long-standing cast members, Sally Dynevor (who plays Sally Webster) dedicated the award to Sophie Lancaster and her mother Sylvia Lancaster.

Sylvia founded the Sophie Lancaster Foundation in memory of her daughter, who was kicked to death for dressing as a goth, a shocking story that inspired one of the soap opera’s most affecting plotlines.
