Bafta Awards
Media caption Watch the highlights of a very different Bafta TV Awards, where awards were accepted virtually.
Glenda Jackson has won best actress at the Bafta TV Awards for Elizabeth Is Missing, her first television role in 27 years.
The 84-year-old, who was last nominated for a Bafta in 1974, said she was "absolutely stunned".
Sky Atlantic miniseries Chernobyl, starring Jared Harris, won awards for best miniseries and best leading actor.
The event was held as a closed studio, socially distanced show and awards were accepted virtually.
Host Richard Ayoade made light of the unusual circumstances during a sardonic opening address from BBC Television Centre in west London.
"It's sad it had taken a pandemic to enforce the most basic parameters of personal space," he joked.
The result, he said, would be "the least touchy-feely Baftas to date".
