Hide AdRivals, the Disney+ adaptation of the famous Jilly Cooper novels, received six nominations, as did Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Apple TV+ spy thriller Slow Horses. Danny Dyer failed to get a nomination for his role in the critically-acclaimed Rivals, but did pick up a nominated in Male Performance in a Comedy Programme for Mr Big Stuff.


Monica Dolan has been nominated for her acclaimed role on ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office. The limited series captured the attention of the British public and put pressure on politicians to correct the miscarriage of justice that saw more than 700 subpostmasters wrongly and convicted convicted of theft or fraud due to faulty IT systems. The moment that Monica Dolan’s character Jo Hamilton first phones the Fujitsu Horizon helpline to report the fault is also nominated for most memorable moment.
This year’s ceremony will take place on May 11 and will be hosted by actor and The Traitors US host Alan Cumming.
