Happy Valley, Top Boy And More Score At The BAFTA TV Awards 2024

Awards season may well be over for another year in the world of film, with the Oscars, BAFTAs, and Golden Globes just a distant memory now. But on Sunday evening, one of the biggest nights in British TV, the BAFTA TV Awards — this year hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Ramesh Ranganathan — took place at London’s Royal Festival Hall. And on a night where the two most nominated shows, Black Mirror and The Crown, failed to snag a single win, Happy Valley, Top Boy, and The Sixth Commandment enjoyed great success in key categories, each taking home two awards apiece.

On the night, Sarah Lancashire won Leading Actress for her all-timer of a turn as police sergeant Catherine Cawood in Happy Valley, her second BAFTA for the same role. The show also snagged the public-voted Memorable Moment award for Catherine and Tommy Lee Royce’s (James Norton) remarkable final kitchen showdown. And, continuing a triumphant evening for the BBC, lacerating true-crime drama The Sixth Commandment scooped Limited Drama as well as a crowd-pleasing first BAFTA win for Timothy Spall, whose delicate performance as Peter Farquhar saw out stiff competition from the likes of Steve Coogan, Brian Cox, and Dominic West in the Leading Actor race.

Elsewhere, Netflix’s east London-set crime drama Top Boy won the biggie, Drama Series, whilst Jasmine Jobson also landed a first BAFTA win, taking home Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Jaq in the show. On the Supporting Actor front, Matthew Macfadyen picked up Succession’s only award of the night, winning his second BAFTA for playing Waystar-Royco’s CEO-elect Tom Wambsgans.

With over a third of the ceremony’s 44 performance nominees being first-timers, special props must also go out to Juice writer-creator-star Mawaan Rizwan and Black Ops co-creator and star Gbemisola Ikumelo, who both won their first BAFTAs last night. They took home gold for Male and Female Performance In A Comedy respectively.
