'Killing Eve', 'Bodyguard' and 'Black Mirror' also up for BAFTA awards
Our favourite Northern Irish girls (and the wee English fella of course) have only gone and bagged themselves a BAFTA nomination.
'Derry Girls' has been nominated for Best Scripted Comedy which is a direct nod to the writing chops of the superb Lisa McGee who pens the series.

Other nominations include 'Killing Eve' for Best Drama with its stars Jodie Comer, Sandra Oh and Fiona Shaw also all receiving a nod. BBC's hit show 'Bodyguard' is also up for a BAFTA and so is its leading lady Keeley Hawes however Richard Madden did not receive a nomination.
Ant & Dec are up for a BAFTA for Entertainment Performance in 'Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway', despite Ant McPartlin being off for most of last year following his arrest for drink-driving.
