‘Happy Valley’, ‘Planet Earth II’ and ‘Damilola, Our Loved Boy’ were the big winners at this year’s TV Bafta Awards.

Each of the three BBC shows bagged two gongs during Sunday (14 May) night’s ceremony, hosted by Sue Perkins.

‘Happy Valley’ scooped the award for Best Drama and Best Actress went to the series’ Sarah Lancashire, while ‘Damilola, Our Loved Boy’ was awarded Best Single Drama, with Wunmi Mosaku picking up the prize for Best Supporting Actress.

‘Planet Earth II’ won Best Specialist Factual Show, also being awarded Virgin TV’s Must See Moment, which was voted for by the public.

The moment in question was a sequence which saw an iguana trying to escape the clutches of a group of snakes.

Joanna Lumley was also honoured with the top award of the evening, taking home the Bafta Fellowship prize, which was presented to her by her ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ co-star Jennifer Saunders.
