The BAFTA TV Awards 2018 – All The Nominees

Posted Filed under

Here are all the nominees for the Virgin TV British Academy Television Awards 2018 – or, as we know them, the TV BAFTAs.

Drama’s Black Mirror, Line of Duty, The Crown and Three Girls all get three nods – with the drama category sure to be a hotly contested affair where Line of Duty and The Crown will go up against Peaky Blinders and probable-outsider The End of The F***ing World.

Doctor Who‘s only mention in the list is for ‘Must See TV Moment’, where it is nominated for the reveal of Jodie Whittaker as the 13th Doctor.

Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, gets a nomination in the Entertainment Programme category,  though the pair aren’t in the Entertainment Performance list – which sees Adam Hills nominated for The Last Leg, and Stephen Fry’s replacement on QI, Sandy Toksvig, get a nod too.

Anyway, there’s a lot to get through – so here it is.
