    Spoiler alert

    In another win for Adolescence, Stephen Graham scoops best actor for his role in the Netflix four-part series - which he also co-created, co-wrote and co-produced.

    He plays the father of a teen murder suspect, grappling with the enormity of events as they unfold while realising how little he knows about his son, and his lack of control over the events surrounding the killing.

    Graham hugs his wife Hannah Walters, who executive produced and co-created the show, before bowing down to the cast and crew sitting around him.

    "I've been nominated eight times and this is the first time I've won," he says, smiling as he is hugged on stage by last year's winner Lennie James.

    "Uncle Lennie just said 'well done son', so that's it for me," he says.

    "When I was a kid, I watched Scully by Alan Bleasdale with the wonderful Drew Schofield," he says, explaining that the actor "lived opposite my nana's house - so he showed me I could be on the telly".

    "So for any other young kids - no matter when you're from, anything is possible," he says to the audience.

    He adds that "we have the obligation to tell the human condition... to tell beautiful stories", before accidentally swearing, and then swearing again as he chastises himself for his language, which raises quite a laugh.

    "I had this sorted but now it's just gone to pot," he says, before signing off, saying:

    "In the words of The Beatles - All You Need is Love."

    The high queen of the kitchen, Dame Mary Berry, is being presented this year's Bafta fellowship for her "exceptional contribution to television" by her Great British Bake Off colleagues Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.

    Her fellowship puts her among some very famous names.

    Previous honourees include Sir David Attenborough, Baroness Floella Benjamin and Sir Billy Connolly.

    BBC One's The Celebrity Traitors - Alan Carr wins has won the memorable moment Bafta, the only one voted for by the general public.

    Carr holds centre stage as he collects the award, and says: "Was I good? Was I really - or were the other celebrities just thick?!", referencing their inability to spot him as a Traitor.

    Carr famously broke down after winning the show, when he revealed to his fellow finalists that he had been deceiving them.

    "It was Nick [Mohammed] who made me cry [in the final] - he said 'We got this', and I was like, 'No, I've got this."

    Adding he was jealous of the current crop of celebrities currently filming the next series, he thanks everyone for watching and tells host Claudia Winkleman he loves her.

    But his final word is for his friend, singer Paloma Faith, who he bumped off during the show, much to everyone's surprise.

    "I dedicate this to Paloma - there 's no one else I would rather murder more than you, I love you," he says.

    Money expert Martin Lewis answers questions on red carpet

    Broadcaster, journalist and campaigner Martin Lewis has just received the Bafta Television special award tonight, recognising his "extraordinary and lasting impact on British consumers and public life".

    Arriving at the awards, he told the BBC's Lizo Mzimba that "to be recognised by Bafta, it feels like I've come full circle, and it's wonderful. This is my industry, and to get an accolade like that, I was very moved".

    His two decades of campaigning include "getting consumers £1bn back in unfair bank charges and £10bn for Payment Protection Insurance (PPI)", Bafta says.

    His TV CV includes ITV's The Martin Lewis Money Show Live, Good Morning Britain and This Morning.

    He says that campaigning journalism does not just mean exposing stories, “it can also mean engaging viewers to take action,” adding he is “incredibly grateful for the privilege ITV has given me over the past 14 years”.

    Spoiler alert

    Gaza: Doctors Under Attack (Channel 4) has won in the current affairs category - it examines the experiences of Palestinian medics working during the war in Gaza.

    You may recall the documentary was pulled by the BBC due to impartiality concerns it had surrounding the production. It was later picked up by Channel 4.

    The documentary's reporter and producer, Ramita Navai, told the audience: "This award means so much to us," and then spoke about the number of Gazans killed in Israel's war in Gaza, which followed the 7 October 2023 attack by Hamas.

    She added: "These are the findings of our investigation that the BBC failed to show but we refused to be silenced and censored and we thank Channel 4 [for taking on the show].

    Ben de Pear, the founder of Basement Films behind Gaza: Doctors Under Attack, said he had a question for the BBC: "Given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the Bafta screening later tonight?" He also thanked the journalists on the ground in Gaza.

    When the BBC shelved the documentary, it said in a statement that “it was determined to report all aspects of the conflict in the Middle East impartially and fairly.”

    De Pear had said that the BBC had "utterly failed" and that journalists were "being stymied and silenced".
