Bafta has announced the winners of this year’s British Academy Children’s Awards.
 
Hey Duggee continued its run of BAFTA success with three wins on the night. For the third consecutive year, it won Pre-School Animation, and for the second year it won Digital for the programme’s companion app, Hey Duggee: The Counting Badge. Grant Orchard won the BAFTA for the newly introduced Director category.
 
CBeebies won Channel, the sixth time it has triumphed since the category was introduced in 2006. Justin Fletcher won his fourth Presenter BAFTA for Something Special. Get Well Soon Hospital won the Pre-School Live-Action category.
 
First-time nominees Chloe Lea and Tom Bidwell won for their work on Katy, in the Young Performer and Writer categories respectively. Tom Courtenay won the Performer award for his role as Grandpa in Grandpa’s Great Escape, the fourth BAFTA of his career.
 
So Awkward, the comedy about three smart but socially awkward kids trying to make sense of life, won in the Comedy category. In the Drama category, Joe All Alone, the story about a young boy left alone when his mum goes away, took home the BAFTA. In the Factual category, Mumbai Street Strikers (My Life), the documentary that follows a team of 14 football-crazy young boys from the slums of Mumbai as they embark on a journey of a lifetime to the UK. The teen-oriented drama Nowhere Boys – Two Moons Rising won the BAFTA for International Live Action.
 
The inaugural Content for Change category was won by TrueTube’s What Do you Mean I Can’t Change the World?. TrueTube continued its success with a win in the Short Form category for Origins, the film that explores the influence of a person’s upbringing on their life.
 
In other categories, SpongeBob SquarePants triumphed in International Animation; Tumble Leaf received the award for International Pre-School; Paddington 2 won in Feature Film; Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle won for Game; and Prosiect Z, the S4C puzzle-solving show, won in the Entertainment category.
 
Clive Juster, the producer of iconic children’s TV shows such as Mr Benn, King Rollo, Towser, Spot the Dog, Maisy Mouse and Paz, received the Special Award for his outstanding contribution to children’s media.
