You’d be forgiven for thinking Happy Valley, Top Boy and The Sixth Commandment were tonight’s big winners, taking home two awards each.

But, when the tallies are counted up to include the Craft Awards too, BBC One’s coverage of Eurovision 2023 was actually the big winner with three trophies.

Tonight’s ceremony wasn’t the only Bafta awards show highlighting the best British television has to offer. Two weeks ago, the Bafta TV Craft Awards took place. They honour the more technical side of television, with awards like costume design, sound and casting being handed out.

BBC One’s Eurovision Song Contest 2023 received two coveted Bafta trophies at those awards: multi-camera director and entertainment craft team respectively, which, when added to its win tonight for live event coverage, mean it is the overall winner of the 2024 TV Baftas, with a total of three awards.

Audience favourites like HBO’s The Last of Us and Apple TV’s Slow Horses also received two craft awards but went home empty-handed in tonight’s ceremony, making Eurovision the only nominee to be awarded on both nights.
