Stars from some of the biggest shows of the year, including Baby Reindeer, Mr Bates vs The Post Office, and Rivals, gathered at Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, May 11 to celebrate the best that 2024 had to offer on the small screen.

The big winner of the evening was Mr Loverman, which won two awards in the acting categories, as well as Mr Bates vs The Post Office, which scooped Best Limited Drama, with ITV also being given the Bafta Special Awards for commissioning the show. Baby Reindeer, which had scooped four nominations, didn’t walk away empty handed, with actress Jessica Gunning picking up a gong for Best Supporting Actress.
