There's nothing like an awards 'do to get TV watchers all riled up - where was my favourite show? Why isn't actor X nominated? And where the heck was Insert-Name-Here?!

The Arqiva BAFTA Television Awards are no different, so following the unveiling of this year's nominations, here's just a few unloved shows and stars that were snubbed.

This year's Arqiva BAFTA Television Awards ceremony will be held in London on Sunday, May 18.

The IT Crowd, Southcliffe lead BAFTA Television Awards nominations

Gillian Anderson



The Fall - up for best Mini-Series. Jamie Dornan - up for best Leading Actor. But no love for Gillian Anderson, who was so brilliantly frosty as heroine Stella Gibson?

Dornan's towering, terrifying performance as killer Paul Spector blew us away, but Anderson - a veteran of US television who's won an Emmy and a Golden Globe - was equally impressive with a much less showy part.

Made in Chelsea



It might not be everyone's cup of tea - or glass of champers - but Made in Chelsea was not only nominated in the Reality & Constructed Factual category last year but actually came out on top.

So the posh toffs' omission from this year's list seems odd - particularly when a tired old format like Dragons' Den gets a nod.

Broadchurch



Wait, Broadchurch - the ITV whodunnit that scooped three BAFTA nominations... snubbed?!

Well, yes, because as thrilled as we were to see Chris Chibnall's thriller up for Drama Series - and its stars Olivia Colman and David Bradley recognised - Broadchurch was ultimately an ensemble piece and many of its finest performers have gone unrecognised.

Colman's blistering turn was undoubtedly the stand-out, but David Tennant gave one of the performances of his career as tortured Alec Hardy... and nothing for Jodie Whittaker, so good as grieving mum Beth Latimer?

Doctor Who



It might be in contention for the public-voted Radio Times Audience Award, but otherwise it's another year, another snub for poor old Doctor Who - adored by Joe Public, ignored by BAFTA.

The sublime Mark Gatiss-penned biopic An Adventure in Space and Time is up for best Single Drama - but nowt for the iconic series that inspired it... and in its 50th anniversary year, for shame!

Game of Thrones



With nods for In The Flesh and Black Mirror, BAFTA clearly isn't as sniffy about genre television as its US equivalent, the Emmys.

So why the absence of Game of Thrones from this year's International series category? House of Cards might be the critics' favourite but doesn't have anywhere near the cultural cache of HBO's fantasy behemoth.

Peaky Blinders



BBC Two's moody period thriller looked incredible and so is rightfully leading the way in the BAFTA TV Craft Nominations - announced last month.

But just as important as the show's style was its substance - particularly the powerhouse performances from the likes of Cillian Murphy, Helen McCrory and Sam Neill. So why no BAFTA nominations for this exemplary cast?

Ripper Street



Maybe it's that harsh axing and subsequent blissful revival, but we've rather taken Ripper Street to our hearts of late.

It's heartening then to see Jerome Flynn get his first ever BAFTA nomination in the Supporting Actor category - but is that it? Nothing for the show itself?

Thank goodness once more for the BAFTA TV Craft Awards - like Peaky Blinders, its BBC compatriot Ripper Street has been recognised for its production design.

Alan Carr



In 2013, Alan Carr won the gong for best Entertainment Performance. In 2014, he's completely absent from the category.

Alan's old muckers from last year - Ant & Dec, Graham Norton and Sarah Millican are all present and correct - but the bespectacled comic has been given the push in favour of Charlie Brooker. Bit harsh.
