Bafta TV Awards: Chernobyl and The Crown among nominees

Chernobyl leads the field at this year's Bafta Television Awards, with 14 nominations.

The Sky Atlantic miniseries, which was heavily praised by critics, was based on the 1986 disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.

It becomes one of the most-nominated shows in the ceremony's history, tying with the 14 nominations Killing Eve received last year.

Netflix's Royal drama The Crown has seven nominations in total.

Other nominees at this year's ceremony include Fleabag and Giri/Haji - which receive six nominations each.


The Virtues, Killing Eve, Sex Education and Top Boy have also been recognised.

Chernobyl has three nominations for the main awards and 11 for Bafta's Craft Awards, which were revealed together.
