The Best of Multichannel Award is contested by Patrick Melrose (Sky Atlantic + Showtime); Taskmaster, Series 7 (Dave); Why Does Everyone Hate the English? (History) and Women on the Verge (W).

The BPG Awards – which are for work commissioned or produced in the UK and screened in 2018 – are chosen independently by TV and radio correspondents, critics and previewers and acknowledge the on-screen and off-screen talent that showcase the best of TV.

Hugh Grant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Keeley Hawes and Ruth Wilson are nominated in the actor categories. Their dramas have also received nominations.

A Very English Scandal (Grant) and Mrs Wilson (Wilson) will contest the award for Best Single Drama/Mini series against BBC One’s The ABC Murders, based on the Agatha Christie novel. Bodyguard, Killing Eve and Patrick Melrose (Cumberbatch) are nominated as Best Drama Series alongside ITV’s Vanity Fair, from the book by William Thackeray.

A consolation award, I guess. Hugh Grant won Best Actor and Killing Eve Best Drama.

I think it means that Hugh Grant (is it his first award this season?) is the frontrunner now but on the other hand BC actually won this award a few years ago for Parade's End. Actually PArade's End won big: Best Series, Best Writer, Best Actress and Best Actor (with Roger Allen also nominates) just to be practically ignored at the BAFTAS! BC wasn't even nominated!

Anyway, I doubt A Very English Scandal will be ignored. Too much popular! It's more probable that they ignore BC and Patrick Melrose

SPOILER: Click to show

even when it's superior IMHO
