Small Axe picked up 15 nominations in Wednesday (28 April) morning’s announcements for both the main and Bafta TV Craft Awards, in which Letitia Wright and John Boyega were among the nominees.
The Crown was also feted with 10 total nominations, including for Drama Series, while Josh O’Connor, Tobias Menzies and Helena Bonham Carter also received nods.
Michaela Coel earned an acting nomination for I May Destroy You along with her co-stars Weruche Opia and Paapa Essiedu, with the sexual assault drama also up for Mini Series among its eight nominations.
Normal People, Sex Education, Adult Material, I Hate Suzie and This Country were also among the repeat nominees.
There was also a posthumous nomination for Friday Night Dinner star Paul Ritter, who died earlier this month of a brain tumour.
