Get comfy on your sofa: we’re bringing you live coverage of the 71st annual British Academy Television Awards, from red carpet action through to the winners (and the losers making polite faces in case they get caught on camera). The 2025 TV Baftas are broadcast tonight at 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer, but beware: the actual ceremony begins at 5pm, so avoid social media if you don’t want to see spoilers. We’ll be updating this article in time with the broadcast – if you want to see winners in real time, head to our list of nominees here.

Yes, it’s a level of timey-wimey confusion that would make even the Doctor Who writers wince, but never mind that: who’s nabbing a prize tonight? Some of the year’s buzziest dramas are in contention, including Baby Reindeer and Mr Bates vs the Post Office, so join us for a riveting small-screen battle.
