It was the biggest night of the year for the British television industry.

Hard-hitting Netflix drama Adolescence has triumphed at the Bafta Television Awards - winning a record four trophies.

The programme, which was one of the most talked about of last year, won the Best Limited Series award, while Stephen Graham, Owen Cooper and Christine Tremarco all won acting prizes.

It saw Cooper become the youngest ever winner of the Best Supporting Actor award, which he added to his bulging trophy cabinet, having already won a string of honours including an Emmy, a Golden Globe, a National Television Award, and a Royal Television Society Award.

It was also a good night for The Celebrity Traitors and Last One Laughing who won two prizes each at the ceremony hosted by Taskmaster star Greg Davies.
