Amazing to see so many of our customers — and the projects they’ve helped bring to life — celebrated at last night’s BAFTAs. Huge congrats to all involved for creating bold, standout work that continues to resonate.

It was a standout night for Mr Loverman, with Lennie James winning Best Leading Actor and Ariyon Bakare taking Supporting Actor. Other major winners included Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Baby Reindeer, Industry, Blue Lights, EastEnders, and Shōgun (Best International).

BAFTA also introduced new categories for children’s scripted and non-scripted content — a welcome move that highlights just how important young audiences and fresh storytelling have become.

Kirsty Wark was awarded the BAFTA Fellowship, and ITV received the Television Special Award for commissioning Mr Bates vs The Post Office — a series that clearly struck a chord.

To all the winners and nominees: thank you for making brilliant television. We're proud to work with so many of you.
