Eighth times a charm!

Stephen, revealed he had previously been nominated eight times for shows including Help, Time and This Is England ’90 , before finally landing the gong for Adolescence.

During his acceptance speech, Stephen, who played Jamie’s father, said: ‘I might take my time. I’ve been nominated eight times and this is the first time I’ve won. I’d like to thank all my fellow nominees. Especially our James and our Ellis, both of you are magnificent. When I was a kid, I watched a television programme called Scully, written by Alan Bleasdale, and it had the wonderful Drew Schofield in it.

Adolescence has its record-breaking FOURTH win

The final prize of the night goes the same way the first award did, with Adolescence landing its historic fourth gong.

Stephen Graham picks up the Best Actor prize, over a stiff category made of Colin Firth, Ellis Howard, James Nelson-Joyce, Taron Egerton and Matt Smith.

He reveals out of eight nominations, this is his first win, and tells the crowd: ‘For any other young kids – no matter when you’re from, anything is possible.’

The actor lets slip several accidental curses to laughter from the audience, finishing his speech: ‘In the words of The Beatles – All You Need is Love’.

And the Best Actress Award goes to…

Narges Rashidi wins Best Actress for her performance in BBC One’s Prisoner 951 as Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, based on Nazanin’s real life six-year imprisonment in Iran.

Paying tribute to her fellow nominees, the cast and crew and her family, she goes on: ‘Prisoner 951 is the true story of three incredible, extraordinary people – Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, Richard Ratcliffe and beautiful daughter Gabriella.’

She praises their love, dignity and courage, which she says ‘will stay with me for the rest of my life. This is for you.’

Narges ends her speech with a public plea, saying: ‘I was a seven-year-old who survived war. So many children don’t have that chance, in Iran, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan. It’s time we humanised those who have been dehumanised.’

‘We refuse to be censored’: The BBC comes under fire

Picking up the award for Best Current Affairs for the incredible Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, producer Ben De Pear took aim at the BBC for ‘refusing to air’ the film.

The broadcaster had commissioned the documentary before shelving it, but Channel 4 stepped in the air the film.

Producer Ramita Navai thanked Channel 4 for picking it up, declaring: ‘We refuse to be censored.’

While Ben ended their speech: ‘Just a question for the BBC – given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the Bafta screening later tonight?’

The win was included in the broadcast within a sped-up montage of other awards that had been handed out on the night.
