Killing Eve leads the way with 14 nominations at the BAFTA TV Awards, and will take on ratings heavyweight Bodyguard in the best drama category.
The BBC shows enjoyed critically-acclaimed debut seasons last year, and stars from both have also been recognised in acting categories ahead of the 2019 ceremony in May.
Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh have both been nominated for best leading actress for their roles in Killing Eve, and they are joined by Keeley Hawes for Bodyguard and Ruth Wilson for Mrs Wilson – another BBC production.
Hawes is also up for best supporting actress for her role in Mrs Wilson. She will compete for that gong with Fiona Shaw for Killing Eve, Monica Dolan for A Very English Scandal and Billie Piper for Collateral.
Another BBC drama, A Very English Scandal, is second only to Killing Eve for total nominations with 12.

Up for best supporting actor are Ben Whishaw for A Very English Scandal, Kim Bodnia for Killing Eve, Stephen Graham for Save Me, and Alex Jennings for Unforgotten.
