Chernobyl leads the field at this year’s Awards with 14 nominations, making the Sky miniseries one of the most nominated shows of all time. It received 11 nods for the Bafta Television Craft Awards and three for the TV Awards. 

The Crown picked up seven nominations, while Fleabag and Girl/Haji both garnered six nominations apiece. Other shows recognised include The Virtues, Killing Eve, Sex Education and Top Boy. Phoebe Waller-Bridge, who wrote and starred in Fleabag, received three nominations, tying with co-star Jamie Demetriou as the most-nominated individual. 

The ceremony will be hosted from a closed studio by comedian Richard Ayoade, with winners set to give acceptance speeches virtually. It will be broadcast on BBC One. 

Bafta’s Craft Awards, meanwhile, which celebrate behind-the-scenes achievements, will be streamed on 17 July, hosted by fellow comic actor Stephen Mangan.
