Female led shows lead the way in the BAFTA TV nominations

Netflix's The Crown has been pulling in award nominations, and indeed wins, since it first aired on the streaming service last November, and it looks like it's more of the same at the BAFTAs with the show - which is the most expensive ever made - earning five nominations.

Sarah Lancashire's Happy Valley has also made its mark with three nominations while breakout star Phoebe Waller-Bridge has also earned three for her critically acclaimed dark comedy Fleabag.

Our own Graham Norton has also got a well-deserved nod for Best Entertainment Programme while the international award category sees The Night Of, The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story, Stranger Things and Transparent competing.

Virgin's Must-See Moments include Games of Thrones' Battle of the Bastards, The Late Late Show with James Corden – Carpool Karaoke with Michelle Obama, and Who Do You Think You Are? – Danny Dyer’s origins.

The BAFTA TV Awards will take place on May 14th in London and will be hosted for the first time by former Great British Bake Off presenter Sue Perkins.
