Doctor Who stars David Tennant and Catherine Tate lead the troupe of famous faces who will present the Bafta TV awards at a glamorous ceremony broadcast live from the Royal Festival Hall in London.

The Bafta Film Awards, which saw All Quiet on the Western Front win the top prize, were held in February, and the Bafta TV Craft Awards, honouring behind the scenes talent, took place in April.  The Bafta TV Awards show, in collaboration with new sponsor P&O Cruises, will celebrate the best in British TV from 2022, with major BBC shows This is Going to Hurt and The Responder nominated for the top prizes.
