This is Going to Hurt and The Responder have bagged the most nominations in the BAFTA Television Awards 2023. Each show, which star No Time to Die's Ben Whishaw and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever's Martin Freeman respectively, earned spots in six categories, including Leading Actor.
Other series that were recognized include Bad Sisters, The Crown, Slow Horses, and The English, all of which received five nominations apiece. In terms of reality shows, The Masked Singer, RuPaul's Drag Race, and last year's smash hit The Traitors all got a look in. While the majority of programmes championed were more homegrown, British and Irish-made titles, BAFTA acknowledged everyone's overseas favorites, such as The White Lotus, Wednesday, and Pachinko, in the International category.
