‘The Responder’, ‘This Is Going To Hurt’

BBC dramas This is Going To Hurt and The Responder lead the nominations for this year’s Bafta Television and Bafta Craft awards with six nominations each.

Both dramas have received nods in the leading actor category for Ben Wishaw and Martin Freeman’s performances.

Sister’s This is Going To Hurt is up for best drama mini series, while Dancing Ledge’s The Responder, which has been recomissioned for a second series, makes the list for best drama series.

The two dramas helped propel the BBC to achieve 81 nominations across the board, 47 Bafta TV nominations and 34 Craft.

The BBC scored more than twice as many nods as runner-up Channel 4’s 33. Netflix has 24, ITV has 19, Apple TV+ has 15, Sky has 14 and Disney+ has eight.

Following closely behind, Bad Sisters, The Crown, The English and Slow Horses also received five nominations apiece.
