It's a Sin leads BAFTA TV Awards nominees
'It's a Sin' leads this year's nominees for the BAFTA TV Awards.
The hit Channel 4 series - which centres on a group of gay men and their friends during the Aids crisis in the UK - has been nominated for 11 gongs in total, including five in the craft categories and six in the TV awards categories.
Olly Alexander - who also stars in the band Years Years - has received a nomination in the Leading Actor category, and his co-star Lydia West has been nominated in the Leading Actress category.
However, she'll face competition for the award from Kate Winslet - who starred in 'Mare of Easttown' - as well as Jodie Comer, Denise Gough, Emily Watson and Niamh Algar.
Elsewhere, 'Landscapers' - the true crime comedy-drama - has received seven nominations.
The show stars Olivia Colman and David Thewlis as a married couple whose lives are transformed when dead bodies are discovered in their garden.
David, 59, has been nominated for the Leading Actor accolade, while the show itself has been nominated in the Original Music, and Mini-Series categories.
'Help', 'Time' and 'We Are Lady Parts' have all been handed six nominations each, and Netflix’s hit series 'Sex Education' - which stars the likes of Gillian Anderson, Emma Mackey and Asa Butterfield - has earned five nominations.
Meanwhile, 'A Very British Scandal' - the drama series that featured Claire Foy and Paul Bettany as the Duke and Duchess of Argyll - has four nominations in the craft categories.
Richard Ayoade - who is best known for starring in 'The IT Crowd' - will host the BAFTA TV Awards for the third consecutive year on May 8, when the ceremony will be held at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
