Vicky McClure is up for Best Leading Actress again. I think she stands a good chance. The series itself is also up for Best Mini Series. Competition is strong but it might do it. The bigger (but very welcome) surprise is Joe Gilgun for Best Leading Actor. So happy for him to get even the nomination as I think it will mean a lot to him. He's in the toughest category and I doubt he will win (he's up against some of the best) but I'd love to see his speech. BAFTA would never have had a speech like it!

Here're the nominations for best mini series:

Appropriate Adult
The Crimson Petal and the White
This is England '88
Top Boy

I can't believe Sherlock isn't up for best mini series. But even if it was I think I'd have to give it to TIE '88 (and I'm a massive Sherlock fan).
