The power of television to drive national conversation, to tap into the stories of public interest, and to inspire societal change, is second to none. And to do this through every genre is even more impressive. The drama of sport, the truth of fiction, the humanity of documentary, the poignancy of comedy, serious entertainment - this year's nominees reflect every aspect of the human condition. UK television is at the top of its game, and it is a privilege at BAFTA to showcase the work of our incredibly talented nominees at the BAFTA Television Craft Awards and BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises.
