Code 404, series 3, review: a vintage comic double-act in search of a better script
Stephen Graham has never won a Bafta, which doesn’t seem right. He’s been nominated plenty of times – for Help, Time, The Virtues, Save Me, This is England ‘90 and Accused, as well as for the film Boiling Point – but always passed over. Admittedly, he was beaten to this year’s lead actor award by Sean Bean, his Time co-star, and there’s no arguing with that. Still, for an actor as good as Graham, to be without a Bafta after all these years feels like a bit of an injustice.
