Netflix's Adolescence dominated the BAFTA TV Awards on Sunday evening, making history in the process. The show won four awards, including Best Limited Drama, while its young star Owen Cooper became the youngest ever winner of the Best Supporting Actor award at age 16.
Cooper, who played a key role in the series, said upon collecting his award: 'Wow, it's heavy the award. A year ago, I was presenting one and now I am collecting one. Thank you to the Adolescence family, and they are family now.' He also quoted John Lennon, adding: 'You only need three things in life to succeed, an obsession, a dream and the Beatles.'
Christina Tremarco won Best Supporting Actress for her role in Adolescence, while Stephen Graham took home the Leading Actor award. Tremarco expressed her gratitude, saying: 'Oh my goodness. Thank you so much Bafta. I feel so privileged to be standing up here holding this Bafta.'
The Celebrity Traitors also had a successful evening, winning the Reality category. Host Claudia Winkleman accepted the award, praising the cast: 'This is for our extraordinary cast who played with gusto and their entire hearts.' Alan Carr, a contestant on the show, jokingly took the stage before being pushed off by Paloma Faith.
Other winners included Bob Mortimer for Best Entertainment Performance in Last One Laughing, and the Most Memorable TV Moment award went to Alan Carr's win on The Celebrity Traitors. The ceremony, hosted by Greg Davies, aired on BBC and featured a range of categories from Specialist Factual to Children's programming.
