The NTAs are back and it's time to have your say on which stars and shows deserve a gong.

Everything from dancing dogs to twisty artificial intelligence has made the shortlist for this 21st instalment of the viewer-voted awards.

Oh yes, viewer voted. It’s all down to you. But you’ve got a tough job on your hands. Tennant takes on Turner, Broadchurch battles Doctor Who and Ant and Dec challenge themselves as Takeaway squares up to I’m A Celebrity.

There are new categories, too. TV presenter sees the hosts of factual programmes pitted against those of entertainment shows, which may actually (gasp) give fourteen-time winners Ant and Dec cause for concern. The ever-popular Graham Norton, the tour de force that is Mel and Sue and first-time nominee Rylan offer up the opposition.

Live Magazine Show also enters the frame, with BBC Breakfast, Loose Women, The One Show and This Morning locking horns.
