BBC2 sitcom Rev won four prizes at today’s Broadcasting Press Guild Awards, including two gongs for cast member Olivia Colman.

Created by and starring Tom Hollander, the show about an East London vicar received the awards for best comedy/entertainment and writing, while Colman was awarded the best actress and breakthrough prizes for her role as vicar's wife Alex Smallbone, and her performance as Nancy Ronstadt in the BBC1 drama Exile.

Elsewhere at the ceremony, Dominic West was named best actor for his portrayals of Hector Madden in BBC2’s The Hour and Fred West in the ITV1 drama series Appropriate Adult, which also received the best drama award.

The Choir: Military Wives was named best factual programme and BBC2’s Eric and Ernie, about the early lives of Morecambe and Wise, won best single drama.
