Stephen Graham and co made history for Adolescence at the BAFTA TV Awards in London tonight, with Netflix’s manosphere hit winning four awards for the first time ever.
Graham won in the coveted Leading Actor category at his eighth attempt to win a BAFTA across TV and film.
Earlier, Adolescence, the show he co-created with Jack Thorne and Netflix’s second most-watched English-language show of all time, won Limited Drama and for supporting stars Owen Cooper and Christine Tremarco.
The gongs cap off an incredible award season run for Adolescence, which won Emmys, Golden Globes and Broadcasting Press Guild Awards. It also won two at last month’s BAFTA Craft Awards.
At London’s Royal Festival Hall, the BBC’s Celebrity Traitors and Prime Video’s Last One Laughing also won multiple gongs.
The grandest night in British TV unfolded as some of the biggest stars around the world including Colin Firth, Aimee Lou Wood, Taron Egerton and Matt Smith went head-to-head.
Other big winners included Steve Coogan, who spoke to us on the red carpet about The White Lotus and won for Actor in a Comedy.
Apple TV’s The Studio took home Best International, with Seth Rogen dedicating his win to Catherine O’Hara.
Meanwhile, Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, which was controversially dropped by the BBC and picked up by Channel 4, won for Current Affairs. Producer Ben de Pear questioned on stage whether the BBC will drop his team’s acceptance speech attacking the corporation’s decision from its broadcast later.
Hosted by comedian Greg Davies, tonight’s awards represented BAFTA and the BBC’s first big test since the Film Awards, when tourette’s campaigner John Davidson involuntarily yelled a racial slur at the stars of Sinners. We reported on Friday about how the BBC had been nervously prepping for the big day.
