In other categories Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton won Best Writer: Comedy for their work on the chilling anthology series Inside No. 9.

Mackenzie Crook failed to win Best Director: Fiction for Detectorists. But Charlie Cooper, whose This Country character Kurtan looks a lot like Gareth, Crook's character in The Office, finally got to meet Crook at the awards, posting a picture on Twitter with the tweet: "So weird to meet my dad after all these years".
