Broadchurch wins three TV Bafta awards

ITV's Broadchurch has won three Baftas - for best drama, best actress for Olivia Colman and best supporting actor for David Bradley.

Colman, who won two Baftas in 2013, cried on stage and said: "Sorry not cool", adding that working with co-star David Tennant was "a joy and a treat".

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway won two Baftas, for best entertainment show and entertainment performance.

The IT Crowd took two awards for Richard Ayoade and Katherine Parkinson.

They won for best male and female in a comedy programme and Parkinson praised writer Graham Linehan "who has the most original comic brain".

After collecting his award for crime drama Broadchurch, Bradley said he was sent a replica Bafta award in chocolate by his agent last Christmas and added: "Finally I can take it down off the mantelpiece and eat it."

Colman added that writer Chris Chibnall was "a genius".

A nervous Sean Harris, who told himself "try not to mumble" on stage, won best actor for Channel 4's Southcliffe, the harrowing drama about shootings in a small English town.

Sarah Lancashire took the prize for best supporting actress for the BBC's Last Tango in Halifax.

ITV and Channel 4 took home eight awards each and the BBC won four, including the audience award.

Actress Julie Walters was given Bafta's highest honour, a Fellowship, for her contribution to film and TV, having starred in shows such as Victoria Wood and Talking Heads and films including Educating Rita, the Harry Potter movies and Billy Elliot.
