BAFTA 2025: Marisa Abela, Jessica Gunning, and Lenny James among major winners

The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards in London saw honours spread widely across television's brightest talents, celebrating a vibrant year in drama, comedy, and limited series.

Marisa Abela took home the leading actress award for her standout role in "Industry", solidifying her place among the top performers of the year. Meanwhile, Jessica Gunning, whose breakout performance in "Baby Reindeer" has already earned her an Emmy and a Golden Globe, added a BAFTA to her growing collection, winning best supporting actress.

BBC's powerful drama "Mr Loverman" also had a strong night, with Lennie James winning leading actor and Ariyon Bakare taking best supporting actor, further highlighting the show's emotional depth and impact.

ITV's critically acclaimed "Mr. Bates vs The Post Office" continued its awards momentum, winning in the limited series category and receiving multiple mentions throughout the evening, reflecting its deep resonance with audiences and critics alike.

Although "Rivals" missed out on a win in its category, the night wasn't without celebration for its lead. Danny Dyer, beloved by fans, won the male performance in a comedy prize for his role in "Mr Bigstuff", marking his first BAFTA win. In typical Dyer fashion, his victory speech featured a couple of f-bombs, much to the crowd's delight.

The ceremony, hosted by Alan Cumming, kicked off against the backdrop of earlier victories from the BAFTA TV Craft Awards, where "Baby Reindeer", "Slow Horses", and "Rivals" had already each secured two awards.

The 2025 BAFTA TV Awards ultimately celebrated a diverse range of stories and talents, reflecting the rich creativity and fearless performances that continue to drive the television industry forward.
