Actor Joseph Fiennes and singer Jessie J are among the early arrivals at the TV Baftas that will see Netflixâs dark comedy series Baby Reindeer compete against ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office.
The ceremony, which is being presented by Scottish actor Alan Cumming at Londonâs Royal Festival Hall, will see ITV recognised with the Bafta TV special award for commissioning post office drama Mr Bates.
The drama helped focus attention on the subpostmasters who were wrongly prosecuted during the Horizon IT scandal, has six nominations and is also nominated in the memorable moment category.
