Controversial Netflix hit Baby Reindeer dominates Bafta TV Award nominations – full listing

Controversial Netflix hit Baby Reindeer and ITV’s Mr Bates vs the Post Office, which brought about change in governmental legislation, have received multiple nominations at the Bafta TV Awards.

Just a month after the British Academy Film Awards last month, the nominees for the best television shows of the last year were revealed on Thursday (26 March).

Baby Reindeer, created by and starring Richard Gadd, dominated the list with eight nominations. Inspired by a true story, it follows the life of a comic who is relentlessly stalked and harassed. The show broke Netflix records, and also found itself at the centre of a lawsuit and ethical debate after internet sleuths said they had found the “real” Martha Scott (played by Jessica Gunning), Fiona Harvey.

It was closely followed by Rivals (starring David Tennant and adapted from a Jilly Cooper novel by the same name), Apple TV’s Slow Horses (starring Gary Oldman), and the groundbreaking Mr Bates vs the Post Office, with six nominations each.

Mr Bates sparked a public inquiry into the fates of subpostmasters who were wrongfully accused of theft and gross misconduct after a series of computer errors. The show sparked a national conversation and inspired Adolescence writer Jack Thorne.

Meanwhile, Strictly Come Dancing was snubbed, receiving zero nominations for the first time in the show’s history. It has been nominated every year since 2005, but has been beset by scandal in recent months.
