Phoebe Waller Bridge’s seductive spy-drama Killing Eve leads the BAFTA TV nominations this year with a whopping 14 nods overall (see our glowing review here: https://www.indiependent.co.uk/tv-review-killing-eve/), whilst Russell T. Davies’ A Very English Scandal follows closely behind with 12.
Keeley Hawes triumphs with acting nominations in two categories, Best Actress for Bodyguard, and Best Supporting Actress for Mrs Wilson, but her Bodyguard co-star Richard Madden received a surprise snub for Best Actor that hasn’t gone unnoticed.
