Who's predicted to win big at the TV Baftas 2019?

Shows like Bodyguard, Killing Eve and A Very English Scandal are thought to be the front-runners at this year's ceremony.

A Very English Scandal walked away with three awards at the Bafta TV Craft awards in April for Best Director, Best Costume Design and Best Editing (Fiction), so that appears to hint that the show could enjoy similar success at the main show.

Killing Eve seems like a sure bet thanks to its global acclaim, as well as the fact it bagged two gongs at the Craft Awards.

But Bodyguard has enjoyed a lot of success during the 2019 award season so the result could end up surprising some.

When are the Bafta TV Awards 2019?

The British Academy Television Awards will be held TONIGHT (Sunday May 12).

The show airs on BBC One at 8pm, although it is not shown live.

The Bafta TV Craft Awards ceremony was held on April 28, 2019.

Bafta has held a separate ceremony ever since 1998 in order to fully focus on technical talent and those doing important work behind the scenes.

Graham Norton will be hosting this year’s Bafta TV Awards - 15 years after he first took on the role.
