Sir Steve McQueen’s Small Axes series leads the field at this year’s Bafta Television Awards, with 15 nominations.
The director’s landmark five-film BBC One series tells stories about the lives of the West Indian community in London from the 1960s to the 1980s.
Netflix’s regal drama The Crown is also one of the leading shows, with 10 nods.
I May Destroy, about a woman coming to terms with a sexual assault, is listed eight times, including best actress, writer and director for Michaela Coel.
There are five nominations apiece for Channel 4’s Adult Material, a drama set in the porn industry, and Sky Atlantic’s I Hate Suzie, whose star Billie Piper is up for best actress.
BBC Three comedy This Country is recognised four times, as are Strictly Come Dancing and the acclaimed documentary series Once Upon a Time in Iraq.
In the individual categories, John Boyega’s performance as real-life police officer Leroy Logan in one of the Small Axe films – Red, White and Blue – sees him up for best actor alongside Shaun Parkes, who was in the Mangrove instalment of Small Axe.
Josh O’Connor, who plays the young Prince Charles in The Crown, makes the same list, alongside Paapa Essiedu from I May Destroy You, Waleed Zuaiter from Baghdad Central and Normal People’s Paul Mescal.
Mescal’s co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones is nominated for best actress, next to Piper, Coel and another Small Axe star, Letitia Wright. Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Adult Material’s Hayley Squires also make the same shortlist.
Notably, The Crown’s Emma Corrin and Gillian Anderson, who won Golden Globe awards in February for playing Princess Diana and Margaret Thatcher respectively, have been overlooked by Bafta.
