Am I Being Unreasonable?, Big Boys, Somewhere Boy and Top Boy landed four nominations each. 128 programs in total were nominated.

Among the names getting their first BAFTA TV nomination are several recognizable stars, including Gary Oldman for Slow Horses, Cillian Murphy for Peaky Blinders and Daniel Radcliffe for Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
