Controversial Netflix hit Baby Reindeer and ITV’s Mr Bates vs the Post Office, which brought about change in governmental legislation, have received multiple nominations at the Bafta TV Awards.

The nominees for the best television shows of the last year were revealed March, and the winners will be announced tonight (11 May).

Baby Reindeer, created by and starring Richard Gadd, dominated the list with eight nominations. Inspired by a true story, it follows the life of a comic who is relentlessly stalked and harassed. The show broke Netflix records, and also found itself at the centre of a lawsuit and ethical debate after internet sleuths said they had found the “real” Martha Scott (played by Jessica Gunning), Fiona Harvey.

It was closely followed by Rivals (starring David Tennant and adapted from a Jilly Cooper novel by the same name), Apple TV’s Slow Horses (starring Gary Oldman) and the groundbreaking Mr Bates vs the Post Office, with six nominations each.

Mr Batessparked a public inquiry into the fates of subpostmasters who were wrongfully accused of theft and gross misconduct after a series of computer errors. The show sparked a national conversation and inspired Adolescence writer Jack Thorne.

Meanwhile, Strictly Come Dancing was snubbed in the Entertainment category, which it won last year, after a behind-the-scenes bullying scandal spearheaded by Amanda Abbington.

Richard Gadd’s Netflix series ‘Baby Reindeer’ became a viral sensation last April (Netflix )
