TV stars gear up for Bafta Awards, with Happy Valley and Succession most nominated

The nominations reflect a year of major shows reaching their conclusions - such as Happy Valley, The Crown and Succession.

The Last of Us, The Sixth Commandment and Top Boy are also heavily nominated.

It's the second half of a huge weekend for the world of entertainment, following the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday.

Which shows have the most Bafta nominations?

5 nominations - Succession

5 - Happy Valley

4 - The Crown

4 - The Sixth Commandment

4 - The Last of Us

3 - Extraordinary

3 - Top Boy

The above tallies include nominations for the memorable moment award, voted by the public.

The numbers do not include shows' earlier nominations and wins at the Bafta Craft Awards, which took place last month.

Happy Valley could become the first show to win the prestigious best drama series award three times.

Who is hosting the Bafta TV Awards?

Comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan will present the ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall.

It's the second consecutive year the pair have taken on hosting duties.

Ranganathan joked: "I really thought I’d done enough last year to be asked to host it solo this time, but hosting it with Rob again is also an honour I suppose."

Beckett was similarly sardonic, commenting: "It’s a real privilege to continually get work together even though our friendship is fake and completely fabricated for commercial gain."

The final season of HBO's Succession is among the nominees in the international category

The ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One at 19:00 BST.

But it actually takes place slightly earlier in the day so some sections of the ceremony can be edited down.

That means if you don't want to know who the winners are in advance of the broadcast, you should try and avoid the internet for a couple of hours.
