The Must See Moment gong goes to an iconic snapshot of TV from the last year that got everyone talking. Last year the prize went to hugely popular series Bodyguard for the moment when Julia Montague (played by Keeley Hawes) was bombed during a speech - a worthy winner given that nobody was talking about anything else at the time!

So who will win this year? Well that's up to you. Below is the shortlist, decided by a group of TV journalists, including writers from RadioTimes.com and the Radio Times Magazine.

All you need to do is vote, and the winner will be revealed at this year's virtual ceremony, to be hosted 'as live' by Richard Ayoade on Friday 31st July from a closed studio.

And the nominees are...

It was heart-breaking to watch, but this scene was the culmination of an incredibly important storyline for Coronation Street, which made a huge impact.

It was a joy to have Gavin & Stacey back on telly, but this cliffhanger ending left us shouting for more!

But will we ever find out if he says yes?

Love Island: Michael recouples after Casa Amor

Could Love Island be on course for its second BAFTA? This was the dramatic moment when Amber and Michael's relationship went up in flames - she stayed loyal, but he decided to recouple with new girl Joanna instead. The girls were shocked and stunned, as were we... great telly though.

Line of Duty: John Corbett's death

We know Jed Mercurio makes a habit of killing off key characters, but we still didn't see this coming! Stephen Graham's fantastic turn as an undercover cop came to an abrupt end as John Corbett faced his brutal shock death. The dangerous gang he'd been working with realised he was a policeman after all, leading to this breathtaking Line of Duty scene.
