BAFTA TV Awards 2025: Post Office drama and Mr Loverman among big winners

By , culture and entertainment reporter

Mr Bates Vs The Post Office and Mr Loverman were among the big winners at this year's BAFTA TV awards - with Danny Dyer and Ruth Jones picking up comedy prizes.

After Mr Bates was named the winner of the TV BAFTA for best limited drama, ITV was also given a special award for commissioning a show that "brought dynamic change".

The four-part series, which aired in January 2024, depicted how former subpostmasters and subpostmistresses were held liable by the Post Office for financial discrepancies thrown up by its computerised accounting system, Horizon - shining a light on one of the widest miscarriages of justice in UK legal history.

Producer Patrick Spence said the show could never have been made without ITV, as well as the journalists who covered the wrongful convictions, and those who campaigned about the scandal.

"Our show didn't change the law, the people of this nation did that," he said.
