The 2017 BAFTA TV Awards - a year of major snubs

The nominations for this year's BAFTA TV Awards will perhaps will go down in history for the programmes that were missing. These are the 3 major losers


The Night Manager

The adaptation of John le Care's novel was a ratings hit, won awards in the US and sparked talk of star Tom Hiddleston being the new James Bond. However only Tom Hollander has been nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for his role as Hugh Laurie's right hand man.


Coronation Street

Soaps may no longer be the genere dominating the British TV ratings Charts bur Corrie still rules the roost among British soap Operas. However it has been shut out of the best (posh term for soap opera) Continuing Drama award.


The Line of Duty

The Cop show that has them investigating themselves and is filled with twist and turns. Because of this format it was a huge ratings smash for BBC2 and therefore transferred to BBC1 where it continues to be a hit. However it is missing in all the major categories.
