Top Boy and Happy Valley won two prizes a piece at the Bafta TV Awards on Sunday.
Graham Norton missed out on a award for his talk show but won for his Eurovision 2023 coverage, while Máiréad Tyers, who was nominated for best comedy actress in Extraordinary, lost to Gbemisola Ikumelo for Black Ops.
Written by Northern Irish writer Roban Bennett, Top Boy first aired on Channel 4 from 2011 to 2013 before being picked up by Netflix in 2019. It won the prize for best drama series, with Jasmine Jobson also winning best supporting actress for her performance in the show.
The BBC produced Happy Valley, set and filmed in the Calder Valley, West Yorkshire, stars best leading actress Sarah Lancashire, James Norton and Siobhan Finneran, and was written and created by Sally Wainwright. The show won the most memorable moment award, the only prize voted for by the public.
