  1. Would have liked to have seen Maxine Peake nominated for Leading Actress. Looking forward to the 3rd series of Silk. Peter Capaldi was wonderful in The Hour-would have liked a 3rd series of that show too.

  2. As a Brit I can share it’s not that surprising that Downton isn’t being nominated for a BAFTA considering how long it’s been on air.

    Most BAFTAs are voted on by the industry and Downton is a pretty mainstream ITV show. Like Corrie in costume.

    It only seems to get this level of prestige overseas…

  3. Call The Midwife only an Audience award (the Logies have shown us what they’re worth), nothing for Sherlock (was it the previous year?). Are Dr Who and Silent Witness ever nominated?
