'Landscapers' and 'We Are Lady Parts' were the big winners at the BAFTA TV Craft Awards, taking home three gongs each.

The drama mini-series - which was inspired by the story of a couple whose crime of killing her parents remained undiscovered for over a decade- was handed awards for Best Original Music, Best Photography and Lighting and Best Production Production Design, while musical comedy 'We Are Lady Parts' won Best Costume Design and Best Scripted Casting, and creator and first-time nominee Nida Manzoor collected her first BAFTA for Best Writer in Comedy on Sunday (25.04.22) .

Meanwhile, Channel 4 drama 'It's a Sin' - which starred 'King' hitmaker Olly Alexander as a young gay man during the AIDS crisis in the 1980s - was awarded twice, with director Peter Haar being named Best Director and editor Sarah Brewerton receiving a nod for her editing work.

Matching the success of 'It's a Sin' was ' The Witcher' - which is based on the book series of the same name by Andrzej Sapkowsk -, with the fantasy drama being awarded for Barrie Gower and Sara Gower's Make-Up Hair design and Dadi Einarsson, Gavin Round, Aleksandar Pejic, Oliver Cubbage, Stefano Pepin and Jet Omoshebi winning Special, Visual Graphic Effects.

In awards recognising the factual side of television, Director: Factual was presented to James Newton for 'Grenfell: The Untold Story', which focused on the tragedy of the Grenfell Tower fire in London back in 2017 and the award for Sound: Factual was won by Stephen Griffiths, Andy Shelley, Nas Parkash, Dan Johnson, Tae Hak Kim and Claire Ellis for '1971: The Year That Music Changed Everything.'

The TV Craft Special Award was presented to Triple C - an organisation which aims to drive up the role of the disabled people in the arts and television - by writer Jack Thorne.

Triple C co-founder and 'Coronation Street' star Cherylee Houston - who is known to viewers for her long-running role as wheelchair-bound Izzy Armstrong on the ITV soap - used her acceptance speech to call for more diversity in the industry.

She said: "We need to elevate the voices of disabled creatives, develop careers and show the world the amazing talent that exists. We as a community have a wealth of exciting untold stories to bring to the screen. We need to see more deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people in-front of and behind the camera."
