Memorable sequences from Fleabag, Game of Thrones and Line of Duty are in contention for the "must-see moment" prize at this year's Bafta TV Awards.

Scenes from Coronation Street, Love Island and the Christmas Day Gavin and Stacey special are also in the running.

Television viewers have until 15 July to cast their vote for the only Bafta TV award decided by the public.

This year's awards will be broadcast from behind closed doors on 31 July due to the coronavirus pandemic.



Richard Ayoade will host the event from a closed studio, with winners giving their acceptance speeches virtually.

The rest of this year's nominations will be announced on Thursday morning.

Last year's prize went to BBC One's Bodyguard for the scene in which Keeley Hawes' Julia Montague character was assassinated.

Writer Caitlin Moran, who helped compile this year's shortlist, said the award was for moments "that truly made everyone gasp".



Corrie viewers were in bits last October when Sinead Osbourne lost her year-long fight against cervical cancer, quietly slipping away while husband Daniel read to their baby son Bertie.

Katie McGlynn's performance in the role won her a National TV Award in January, which she dedicated to "any woman who is going through cervical cancer right now".

If you're wondering, the book Daniel is reading is We're Going on a Bear Hunt by former Children's Laureate Michael Rosen.
