It was the RTS Awards tonight (March 21), and Happy Valley, National Treasure, BBC Three and Fleabag were among the night's top winners.

The stars gathered for the annual awards ceremony, which honoured Julie Walters with a lifetime achievement award.

Other successes of the night included Happy Valley and its writer Sally Wainwright, who took home a collective three awards.

National Treasure also did well, with its cast scooping awards for Best Actors, while Phoebe Waller-Bridge also enjoyed success with her BBC Two comedy Fleabag, which won her two awards.

With Fleabag's future still uncertain and Happy Valley unlikely to return until late 2018, there's a lot for fans to be anxious about.

In better news, here is the full list of winners from the awards this evening.
