Each episode is filmed in one continuous shot and has been widely praised for addressing topics such as online radicalisation and misogyny. 

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. 

‘He lived across the road from my nannas house so he showed me then that I could be on the television. Drew was such a wonderful man. He was my inspiration so for any young kid, no matter where you’re from, anything is possible.’

Owen, 16, who has made history by becoming the youngest winner of the Best Supporting Actor award at both the Golden Globes and the Emmy Awards, continued his award-winning streak as he took home the BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor.

Meanwhile, Christine Tremarco, who played Owen’s mother in the show, won Best Supporting Actress in a surprise result beating co-star Erin Doherty, who previously took home the Golden Globe and Emmy Award. 

Stephen wiped away tears as Christine took to the stage and said: ‘I hold this BAFTA high to Hannah Walters and Stephen Graham, thank you so much.’ 

The Netflix series also won in the Limited Drama category, beating the shows; Fought The Law (ITV), Trespasses (Channel 4) and What It Feels Like For A Girl (BBC Three). 

Owen said of his win: ‘Every time we are at these events and your name gets called out your mind flashes back to your first audition, the first time on set, the first time you met the cast, it’s been an unreal two years. I’m just grateful to everyone who is here today.’

When asked how it’s changed his life and what he wants to do next he said: ‘I don’t know what I want to do next. It’s changed my life because I’ve met all these beautiful people, me and my family have travelled the world, so it’s just amazing.

‘Erin [Doherty] was the first person that I ever worked with so it was a dream to film. It was hard to do, I’m not doing to stand here and say it was easy, it was hard to do that in front of a stranger I have never met but Erin and the crew were so kind.’

Producer Mark Herbert of Warp films, added: ‘Big thanks to Stephen Graham for bringing this gang together. The script ripped our hearts and it punched us in the guts’. He also thanked Netflix boss Anne Mensah who had picked up the project after Amazon Prime Video had passed on it.’

Code Of Silence scooped Best Drama. It follows Rose Ayling-Ellis as Alison Brooks – a deaf canteen worker who uses her exceptional lip-reading skills to help police investigate a dangerous jewellery heist.

The Lead Actress BAFTA went to Narges Rashidi for Passenger 951, who beat Aimee Lou Wood, Jodie Whitaker and Sheridan Smith. 

The drama is the true story of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe who was wrongfully imprisoned in Iran for spying. She, her husband and their daughter were at the ceremony. 

She said: ‘It was very emotional role to play, big shoes to fill. Lots of responsibility and an absolute honour. It’s an important story about justice and injustice and about love and family. It was the greatest gift to get as an actor. I am so overwhelmed, I can’t find words, it’s incredible. It was such a competitive category filled with so many women that I love and admire.’ 

Amandaland starring Lucy Punch won the BAFTA for scripted comedy. The show follows the demise of Motherland’s snooty Queen Bee, who has moved from a lavish life in well-to-do Chiswick to becoming a single mother in the less-than-desirable South Harlesden – which she christens ‘SoHa’.

Writer Holly Walsh said she loved when people said they watched the show with their children. 

She said: ‘We can all enjoy watching a posh woman from Chiswick getting hit in the face with a football.’

However, Lucy and her co-star Philippa Dunne missed out on the Actress In A Comedy gong, which went to Katherine Parkinson for her performance in BBC One’s Here We Go.

Katherine thanked her husband Stephen during her acceptance speech, who she said: ‘wasn’t here tonight because he didn’t think I’d win.’ 

Claudia Winkleman accepted the Reality Award for The Celebrity Traitors. 

The host, 54, revealed she had flown down from Scotland on Saturday morning from filming the second series to collect the gong.

The Traitors host left less than half an hour after receiving the BAFTA to get back on the plane and return to Ardross Castle.

On the win, she said: ‘My favourite things when I’m told I’m taking part in the show. I couldn’t believe it in the second series that I was taking part. I love every single aspect because everybody who works on the team is obsessed by it, obsessed by the game.

‘So I love watching how the traitors behave and how the faithful behave, and I want both of both sides to win equally. So it’s confusing.

‘Social media is so important to the show, people who watch together as families is my favourite thing of all and it feels like a real communal moment.

‘We came down from Scotland this morning and I am leaving again in eight minutes.’

Meanwhile, Alan Carr, 49, who won the series as a Traitor, dedicated his Most Memorable Moment Award win to his close friend Paloma Faith, who he ruthlessly murdered in plain sight on the show. 

He said: ‘There’s no one else I would rather murder than you.’
