The production with the greatest number of nominations for this 21st edition, nine in total, was Killing Eve. However, the spy drama starring Sandra Oh, won only two awards, for Best Original Score and Best Sound (Fiction).
British mini-series Patrick Melrose, starring Benedict Cumberbatch, didn't leave empty-handed either, with Edward Berger's dramatic comedy winning two Bafta TV Craft Awards out of four nominations, with the award for Best Drama Writer going to David Nicholls and the award for Best Production Design to Tom Burton.
The ceremony was just a foretaste of the highly-anticipated ceremony for the Bafta TV Awards, which rewards the actors and actresses starring in the top TV series. The 2019 edition will take place this May 12 with Killing Eve and Bodyguard both competing for the award for Best Drama Series.
