The BAFTA TV Awards were held earlier tonight, honoring the very best in British television. Naturally, the big winner was ITV's Broadchurch, one of the biggest critical and commercial successes on British television in years. The eight-episode series won awards for Best Drama Series, Best Actress for Olivia Colman, and Best Supporting Actor for David Bradley. In short, FOX's upcoming Broadchurch adaptation, Gracepoint, has some huge shoes to fill.
Also enjoying time in the winners' circle is BBC's In the Flesh, the three-episode mini-series about loved ones returning from the grave without explanation. The show earned the award for Best Mini-Series. Even American dramas got in on the fray, as Breaking Bad won the award for Best International Drama Series. Popular shows were also not to be outdone: the Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Special, "The Day of the Doctor," won the Radio Times Audience Award.
Those, of course, are just a few of the big winners from Sunday night's ceremony. Check out the full list of winners below:
