Killing Eve is leading the first batch of BAFTA TV nominations, obviously (Picture: BBC)

The BAFTA TV nominations are in and Killing Eve has completely eclipsed the competition with a killer 14 nominations.

The BBC Three thriller picked up two nominations for leading actress as Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer are finally getting the mutual recognition they deserve, with further nods for Best Drama and Best Supporting Actress for Fiona Bruce.

Despite winning a Golden Globe for his performance as David Budd, Richard Madden has somehow been overlooked for Best Male, while Bodyguard has picked up five nominations – including one for Keeley Hawes in the Best Actress category.

Russell T Davies’ A Very English Scandal received an impressive 12 shout outs, with both Hugh Grant and Ben Wishaw shortlisted for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor respectively.




And, bizarrely, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could receive their very own BAFTA as their lavish wedding is up for Best Live Event. Wow.
