Talking about the nominations being announced on BBC Breakfast, shortly after the full list was revealed, TV critic Scott Bryan said: ‘One of the joys of the nominations at the moment with TV ones, this is the weird thing where we’re going to be celebrating last year’s TV, it’s the calendar year of 2022 celebrating in 2023, but a lot of the shows you can catch up now.’
‘There’s a big buzz and a big loyalty to these shows,’ he added. ‘It’s lot about rising talent at the moment.’
The Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer won leading female performance for her portrayal in Help at the Bafta TV Awards 2022, while her co-star Kathy Tyson won supporting actress.
Even though Sean Bean was unable to attend the presentation, he received the award for leading male performance, while Matthew Macfadyen received the prize for supporting actor.
