Sherlock might have won a gong but Benedict Cumberbatch again missed out on a television Bafta for his much-loved portrayal of the master detective. Instead the leading actor role went to Jason Watkins for his performance as the murder accused in ITV’s drama the Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies. Georgina Campbell was a surprise win of the night after claiming the leading actress award, which had been largely tipped to be taken by Sheridan Smith, while Television favourites Ant and Dec twice found themselves on stage to collect awards – once to celebrate a win for their Saturday Night Takeaway show and again to recognise their performance as a comedy duo in the entertainment performance category.
