There were some big series vying for accolades, from BBC drama juggernauts to ITV entertainment favourites, and this year's Drama Performance, Reality Competition, Returning Drama and TV Presenter categories were all especially jam-packed.

Sarah Lancashire emerged as the big winner, taking home the Drama Performance award for Happy Valley, which also picked up Returning Drama, as well as a Special Recognition award presented by Sir Ian McKellen.

EastEnders also had a great night, winning the prestigious Serial Drama accolade, with stars Danielle Harold and Bobby Brazier also honoured.

Elsewhere, Ant & Dec kept up their incredible run of wins in the TV Presenter category, and there was an emotional winner in the Factual line-up, as the late Paul O'Grady's series For the Love of Dogs picked up the award.
