This Is Going To Hurt, The Responder and The Crown lead this year’s BAFTA TV nominations.

The adaptation of Adam Kay’s book about his experience of working in the NHS was widely praised by critics and viewers, while millions tuned into to watch Martin Freeman in The Responder – about a police officer in Merseyside.

Both shows bagged six nominations.

Getting five nods is The Crown, which saw a boost in the wake of the Queen’s death in September and the controversy surrounding the show.

Also getting five nominations are Apple TV+’s Bad Sisters and Slow Horses, as well as Emily Blunt’s The English, while Am I Being Unreasonable?, Somewhere Boy, Big Boys and Top Boy have all being nominated four times.

Nominations appear to mark a shift towards stories and shows rooted in some sort of reality, with This Is Going To Hurt and The Responder both written by a former doctor and police officer respectively.

Traditional broadcasters have also dominated the nominations, with the BBC earning 47 nods, Channel 4 getting 21 and ITV scoring 15.
