Happy Valley and Top Boy crowned winners at Baftas

Stars including Jeff Goldblum, Stephen Merchant, Lashana Lynch, Helena Bonham Carter and Katherine Ryan were on hand to give out awards at the ceremony, which was hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan.

The Netflix drama Top Boy took home the night’s biggest prize, for Best Drama Series, along with a Best Supporting Actress win for actor Jasmine Jobson.

Best Actor went to Timothy Spall for his work on The Sixth  Commandment, the BBC One drama inspired by the murder of a retired schoolmaster by a young man who had befriended him and his wife. The series was also awarded the Best Limited Drama prize. In his speech, Spall admitted “I’ve always wanted one of these – it’s just lovely to have one.”

Sarah Lancashire collected the Best Actress prize for her work in the final season of the BBC’s smash hit drama Happy Valley. The show also took home the “P&O Cruises memorable moment” award, for its final confrontation between two long-standing nemeses, police sergeant Catherine Cawood (Lancashire) and serial killer Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton).
