Other notable wins included The Repair Shop for Best Daytime (beating ITV’s This Morning, who have famously been triumphant in this category for the last 12 years), Gogglebox, Happy Valley, Paul O’Grady: For The Love of Dogs, and Ant & Dec, who continued their 22-year streak of winning the TV Presenter Award.
This years Special Recognition Award, presented by Sir Ian McKellen, went to the formidable Sarah Lancashire.
Speaking the audience, following a slew of onscreen tributes from the likes of Dawn French, writer Sally Wainwright OBE, and James Norton, a clearly overcome Lancashire said: “Without you, the audience, all of this would grind to a crashing halt, so please carry on watching, and we’ll keep doing what we do, for you!”
