Bad Sisters has won the coveted Drama Series prize at the BAFTA TV Awards.
The show beat off competition from BBC double The Responder and Sherwood, and Channel 4’s Somewhere Boy.
Bad Sisters has now won two gongs tonight in a huge night for Apple TV+, with Anne-Marie Duff also winning in the Best Supporting Actress category. Previously, Apple TV+ had never won a BAFTA TV performance award, only two Craft Awards.
Creator Sharon Horgan expressed her solidarity with her “WGA brothers and sisters” as she collected the award. She thanked the creative team and commissioners at Apple, and said it has been a good night for the Irish, given Derry Girls’ win.
Last year’s winner of the award was BBC Three mental health drama In My Skin, which pulled off a surprise by beating bigger budget hits such as Vigil.
The BAFTA TV Awards are taking place through the late afternoon of Sunday 14 May at London’s Royal Festival Hall. Hosted by Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett, they are featuring the great and the good of the UK TV industry.
