Netflix drama Adolescence dominated the British Academy Television Awards, becoming the most decorated show in a single year with four prizes. The hard-hitting limited series won best limited series, while Stephen Graham secured best leading actor, Christine Tremarco won best supporting actress, and 16-year-old Owen Cooper became the youngest ever recipient of the best supporting actor award. The series, which sparked national debate upon its release, centres on a boy accused of murdering a classmate.

Elsewhere, The Celebrity Traitors and Last One Laughing each collected two awards, with the former named best reality programme and the latter winning best entertainment programme. Steve Coogan, Katherine Parkinson and the team behind Amandaland were among the comedy winners, while Code of Silence took best drama. Narges Rashidi earned best leading actress for her portrayal of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe in Prisoner 951.

Documentary and current affairs categories also drew attention. Gaza: Doctors Under Attack won the current affairs prize after being dropped by the British public broadcaster and later aired by Channel 4, while Grenfell: Uncovered was named best single documentary. EastEnders claimed best soap, and Dame Mary Berry received the fellowship for lifetime achievement. Financial journalist Martin Lewis was honoured with a special award, delivering an emotional speech about resilience and transformation.
