BAFTA TV awards 2017
The Queen’s 90th Birthday Celebration on ITV last May fronted by Ant and Dec won the Bafta TV Award for the best live event.
Joanna Lumley gets the Prestigious Bafta Fellowship. Joanna Lumley takes to the stage to accept the Academy’s highest honour:
“We as actors, we’re dragged about in golden carriages… we are furnished with words, costumed, made up, we have stunt performers to make us look better. We have people who drive us, who dress us, we have all this. For me this is paradise because I’m here where I wanted to be – I’m in the company that I wish to keep ever since I was young. I wanted to be with people who left race and religion and age and gender and shoe size and things outside the door when they came. People who are in our profession don’t have those discriminations”.
Sarah Lancashire and Adeel Akhtar lead the acting winners. Although Netflix’s The Crown has the most nominations with five –but won nothing.
