The ceremony – which was hosted by Stephen Mangan at The Brewery in London – paid tribute to script supervisor Emma Thomas with the BAFTA Special Award for her outstanding contribution to the industry after working on shows including ‘Birds of a Feather’, ‘Benidorm’, ‘Goodnight Sweetheart’, ‘The Bill’ and ‘Luther’.
