 2025 BAFTA TV Awards: Every Winner Revealed – Including Ruth Jones and Baby Reindeer

📸Small screen stars united for the glittering ceremony, which was shown live on the BBC.

The 2025 BAFTA Television Awards brought the glam to London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night (May 11), with a dazzling lineup of small-screen stars hitting the red carpet in style. The glitzy ceremony, broadcast on BBC One and iPlayer, celebrated a standout year in British television—with drama, laughs, and a few surprises along the way.

All eyes were on the showdown between Mr Bates vs The Post Office and Netflix’s breakout hit Baby Reindeer, as the two critically acclaimed mini-series battled it out for one of the night’s biggest honors. Meanwhile, red carpet moments and heartfelt speeches kept fans and viewers hooked from start to finish.

Jessie J lit up the stage with a performance at this year’s BAFTA TV Awards.

Toby Jones earned a Leading Actor nomination for his powerful portrayal of campaigner Sir Alan Bates, while Monica Dolan scored double nods—one for her role in Mr Bates vs The Post Office and another for her performance in James Graham’s gripping crime drama Sherwood.

Baby Reindeer—the darkly comic stalking drama from Scottish comedian Richard Gadd—has already made waves on the awards circuit, including a win for Best Limited Series at the Emmys. But during the BAFTA TV Awards, hosted by fellow Scot Alan Cumming, it was ITV that earned a major spotlight. The broadcaster took home the BAFTA TV Special Award for Mr Bates vs The Post Office, a powerful four-part drama that has reignited national attention on the real-life Horizon scandal and the subpostmasters who fought to clear their names, as reported by the Manchester Evening News.
