Bafta TV Awards 2020 – live: Fleabag, The Crown and Chernobyl battling it out for prizes in first virtual ceremony

This year’s Bafta TV Awards will see Fleabag, The Crown and Chernobyl battling it out for prizes.

The annual ceremony, which will be broadcast on BBC One tonight (31 July) at 7pm, will be the first in its history to be held virtually.

Richard Ayoade will host the event in a closed and socially distanced studio, with winners accepting their awards via video link.

In lieu of the red carpet, a special pre-show event will be live-streamed an hour before the actual ceremony begins.

Among those competing for awards include Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Elizabeth Is Missing’s Glenda Jackson for Leading Actress. Stephen Graham (The Virtues) and Jared Harris (Chernobyl) are among the Leading Actor nominees, while Fleabag sisters Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Sian Clifford are both up for Best Female Performance in a Comedy. The Crown is recognised via a Drama Series nomination, as well as Supporting Actress and Supporting Actor nods for Helena Bonham Carter and Josh O'Connor, respectively.

A new category voted for by the general public, called Must-See Moment and recognising memorable scenes from British television of the last year, will see Fleabag and Game of Thrones competing directly against Love Island.
