The votes have been counted and the results for the fifteenth annual Televisual Bulldog Awards are now online. 



The standout winner this year is Sid Gentle Films’ debut series of Killing Eve which won the vote in four categories. The show, written by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and starring Jody Comer and Sandra Oh, not only picked up the Best Drama Series award but also won the vote for the Best Cinematography, Best Music and Best Editing categories.

In the scripted categories, Blueprint Pictures’ A Very English Scandal starring Hugh Grant and Ben Wishaw won Best Drama One-Off or Serial and Hat Trick’s Northern Ireland-set sitcom Derry Girls won Best Comedy.

Zeppotron’s long-running panel show Would I Lie to You? was voted Best Panel Quiz or Chat Show and BBC Studio’s Strictly has once again won the Bulldog for Best Entertainment programme.

The factual category winners include Minnow Films’ Grenfell doc and On the Corner’s Stephen: The Murder that Changed a Nation which won Best Documentary Single and Best Documentary Series respectively.

CPL Productions’ Old People’s Home for Four Year Olds was voted Best Factual Entertainment programme and BBC Studios Natural History Unit’s Dynasties won in the Best Specialist Factual category.

Wall to Wall was voted Best Indie and the Best VFX award went to Nutopia’s One Strange Rock.

The full list of winners and runners up can be seen here and in a special supplement in the Summer issue of Televisual.

All the winners will be invited to pick up their awards at a special winners’ dinner at The Hotel Cafe Royal in July. 

A ‘Best in Show’ prize will also be awarded at the winners’ dinner to the programme that garnered the most votes overall.
