BROADCASTING PRESS GUILD AWARDS: WINNERS REVEALED

Michaela Coel and David Tennant have dominated this year’s Broadcasting Press Guild Awards with both of them winning multiple awards.

Jake Kanter, the chair of the BPG, said: "2020 was a challenging year for British television. Coronavirus shuttered production for months, ripped a near-fatal hole in the ad market, and ravaged a brilliant freelance community that actually makes the stuff we love to watch...

"But amid the rubble, industry ingenuity prospered and what crumbled was quickly rebuilt. It was a year when television and radio provided comfort, distraction and a friendly embrace in an ugly world. Our winners are testament to that."
