The British Academy Television Awards (BAFTA) nominations have been announced for 2022, with It’s A Sin leading the field with 11 nominations.
The series is written and created by Queer as Folk and Doctor Who screenwriter Russell T Davies, and follows a group of gay men and their friends as they live through the UK’s 1980s/90s HIV/Aids crisis.
Netflix’s Sex Education has come in with a total of five nominations, and A Very British Scandal, (about the split of the Duke and Duchess of Argyll) has four nods.
