BAFTA Television Awards 2017 Nominations

Here is a full list of nominees for the 2017 Bafta TV Awards, which will be presented in London on 14 May. The Night Manager is a surprise omission in many categories with Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Coleman and Hugh Laurie all overlooked despite their recent slew of success at the Emmys and Golden Globes.
