Line of Duty leads 2019 TV Choice Awards nominations

‘Line of Duty’ has four nominations for the 2019 TV Choice Awards.
The shortlist has been revealed ahead of the prestigious ceremony on September 9 at The London Hilton, with voting now open, and Jed Mercurio’s police programme finds itself on the shortlist for Best Drama Series.
The show will battle it out with ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Poldark’ and ‘Victoria’, and Line of Duty’s Vicky McClure will face off against Brenda Blethyn (‘Vera’), Jodie Comer (‘Killing Eve’) and Eleanor Tomlinson (‘Poldark’) in the Best Actress category.
‘Line of Duty’ stars Martin Compston and Adrian Dunbar are both in the running for Best Actor, alongside ‘Bodyguard’ leading man Richard Madden and ‘Poldark’ star Aidan Turner.
Elsewhere, the Best Talent Show category looks tough to call with ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, ‘Dancing On Ice’ and ‘The Great British Bake Off’ all named on the shortlist.
And Ricky Gervais will be hoping his Netflix comedy ‘After Life’ can earn the Best Comedy prize, but it faces stiff competition from ‘Derry Girls’, ‘Still Open All Hours’ and ‘Not Going Out’.
Voting runs from June 25 to July 5 at www.tvchoicemagazine.co.uk.
