Adolescence, Amandaland and Traitors stars ready for Bafta TV Awards
The stars of hit shows like Adolescence, Amandaland, The Celebrity Traitors and Last One Laughing will gather later to find out who has won a Bafta Television Award, on one of the biggest nights in the British TV calendar.
After hoovering up almost every available accolade over the past year - from National TV Awards to Golden Globes and Emmys - Adolescence leads the field at the Baftas.
The hard-hitting Netflix series is up for seven prizes on Sunday night, while sitcom Amandaland has four nominations in the comedy categories.
Erin Doherty and Aimee Lou Wood have two individual acting nominations, while Alan Carr, Bob Mortimer and Romesh Ranganathan are all also named twice on the shortlists.
Adolescence is frontrunner to win best limited drama, and five of its cast have acting nominations - Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper, Erin Doherty, Ashley Walters and Christine Tremarco.
The scene where Jamie, played by Cooper, snaps at Doherty's psychologist, is nominated for the memorable moment accolade - the only award to be voted for by the public.
The show has already won two Baftas at the organisation's Craft Awards, which recognise behind-the-scenes achievements and were handed out two weeks ago.
Doherty's other nomination is for best actress for her role in Disney+'s A Thousand Blows, which is also up for best drama.
Like Doherty, Aimee Lou Wood is up for both best actress and best supporting actress - for BBC Three comedy-drama Film Club and HBO/Sky dark comedy The White Lotus respectively.
Other nominees in the leading acting categories include Colin Firth (Lockerbie: A Search for Truth), Jodie Whittaker (Toxic Town), Matt Smith (The Death of Bunny Munro), Sheridan Smith (I Fought The Law) and Taron Egerton (Smoke).
Amandaland is up for best scripted comedy, and three of its cast are competing for best comedy actress - Lucy Punch, Philippa Dunne and Jennifer Saunders, the latter of whom played Amanda's aunt in the Christmas special.
The Celebrity Traitors, the most-watched show of 2025, is up for best reality show, while its host Claudia Winkleman is shortlisted for best entertainment performance.
Alan Carr's victory is one of the memorable moment nominees, and he's also in contention for best entertainment performance for another show, Amanda & Alan's Spanish Job.
Bob Mortimer is also in the entertainment performance race for his victorious stint in the first series of Last One Laughing, which is in the running for best entertainment programme.
And Romesh Ranganathan has two citations in the best entertainment performance category - for Romesh: Can't Knock the Hustle, and alongside Rob Beckett for Rob & Romesh Vs...
Dame Mary Berry will be bestowed with Bafta's highest honorary award, the Bafta Fellowship, while Martin Lewis will receive the Special Award.
The ceremony will be on BBC One and BBC iPlayer from 19:00 BST on Sunday.
The event will be broadcast a couple of hours after it actually takes place, and BBC News will publish details of the winners as they are announced in real time on its live page - before they are shown on TV.
Taskmaster star Greg Davies will host for the first time - taking over from last year's MC Alan Cumming, who hosted the Bafta Film Awards this year.
Davies is a hugely popular and accomplished comedian, comedy actor and host, who is likely to bring his affectionately scathing style with celebrities - as seen on Taskmaster and Never Mind the Buzzcocks.
Presenters of individual awards will include Celia Imrie, Richard Osman, Jessica Gunning, Chris McCausland, Dani Dyer, Danny Dyer, Lennie James, Lenny Rush, Marisa Abela, Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Tinie Tempah, Nick Frost, Nick Mohammed, Paapa Essiedu and Rick Astley.
There will also be musical performances by Celebrity Traitors finalist Cat Burns and Norwegian artist Aurora, who will sing her song Through the Eyes of a Child from Adolescence during the In Memoriam section.
The ceremony is taking place at London's Southbank Centre.
