Harry Hill Named Best Entertainment Performer At Baftas
Comedian Harry Hill scooped the award for Best Entertainment Performance at the Baftas last night, for the second year running.
Hill won the award for his TV Burp show, beating Jonathan Ross, Stephen Fry and Ant and Dec.
Accepting the award, Hill joked that it was "ridiculous" to win awards for a clip show.
However, TV Burp lost out to The X Factor in the Best Entertainment Programme category.
Sir David Attenborough also won the Bafta for Best Specialist Factual for Life in Cold Blood. It was the 82-year-old's ninth Bafta and came 48 years after his first win.
Elsewhere, Stephen Dillance was named Best Actor for his role in The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall, while Anna Maxwell Martin won the Best Actress award for her role in Poppy Shakespeare.
David Mitchell won the award for Best Comedy Performance for his role in Peep Show, beating Rob Brydon, Sharon Horgan and Claire Skinner. He thanked his comedy partner Robert Webb, who was not nominated.
Kenneth Branagh also celebrated his first TV win for Wallander, which won the Best Drama Series award, beating Shameless, Spooks and Doctor Who, while ITV's long-running police drama The Bill also celebrated its first Bafta win, beating Casualty, Emmerdale and Eastenders to win the Best Continuing Drama award.
The IT Crowd was named Best Sitcom, beating The Inbetweeners, Outnumbered and Peep Show.
Comedy duo Dawn French and Jennifer were awarded Bafta Fellowship, becoming only the second double-act to receive the prestigious honour, after Morecambe and Wise.
The ceremony was hosted by Graham Norton.
