BBC BAFTA Nominations 2014

The nominations for the British Academy Television Awards 2014 have been announced and BBC programmes are selected in 23 of the 24 categories. In many cases BBC programmes are in competition with each other for gongs, and in the Supporting Actress and Male Performance in a Comedy categories co-stars (from Last Tango in Halifax and The Wrong Mans) are actually running against one another for the prizes (awkward).

A big hand to the people in BBC One drama for their sterling work on The Village which has been nominated in three categories, Leading Actress (Maxine Peake), Supporting Actor (Nico Mirallegro) and Drama Series.

Regular visitors to this blog won’t be surprised that the About the BBC team are very pleased Great British Bake Off has been nominated for Best Feature and the Radio Times Reader award (it’s true, we’re a bit obsessed with cake). Inevitably, I’m very happy that Borgenis in line for a gong in the International category.
