What’s the story?
The British Academy Television Awards take place tomorrow.
Weren’t they held in January?
Those were the common or garden National Television Awards on ITV. These are the Baftas, dahling.
Will you be wearing a tiara to watch?
Of course.
Who is up for one of those creepy masks?
Stars and makers of Killing Eve, Bodyguard, and A Very English Scandal hope to be going home with the internationally acclaimed awards designed by American sculptor Mitzi Cunliffe in 1955.
Any chance of handbags at dawn?
There were some British eyebrows raised over the inclusion of Killing Eve, which had its first run in the US, but the row soon blew over.
Because we all love its writer, Phoebe Waller Bridge?
It is the law.
Other likely winners?
Jodie Comer and Sandra Oh of Killing Eve are competing for best actress, while Hugh Grant (A Very English Scandal) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Patrick Melrose) will slug it out for best actor.
And of course Scotland’s Richard Madden, the Bodyguard?
Not nominated.
The hottest actor of the moment snubbed?
Quite. Silly Baftas.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
