A who’s who of British television showed up at London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday, May 14, for the 2023 BAFTA TV Awards, as the British Academy of Film and Television Arts bestowed its annual honors.

Among the repeat winners were Bad Sisters, Derry Girls, and I Am… Ruth. And Kate Winslet won two of the awards, as a star and producer of I Am… Ruth.
