For a show named after the noun for your teenage years, Adolescence — and Adolescence bagging major telly awards — sure doesn’t get old, does it? Having already cleaned up at the Emmys, Golden Globes, National Television Awards, Actor Awards, Film Independent Spirit Awards, and just about every other gong-giving ceremony out there, Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham’s dizzying one-shot Netflix drama picked up another four awards at last night’s glitzy BAFTA TV Awards 2026 — including Limited Series, Lead Actor for Stephen Graham, Supporting Actress for Christine Tremarco, and, making BAFTA history as its youngest ever recipient, Supporting Actor for 16-year-old Owen Cooper.
During a two-hour telecast from the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London, hosted by Greg Davies and featuring performances from AURORA and Cat Burns, 29 statuettes were handed out in total. While Adolescence swept the major categories on the night, there was no shortage of worthy winners spread across the evening’s other key races. ITV1’s groundbreaking deaf-waitress-turned-police-lip-reader crime drama Code Of Silence bagged Drama Series; Seth Rogen dedicated Apple TV satire The Studio‘s International Series win to the late Catherine O’Hara; Narges Rashidi deservedly landed Lead Actress for British-Iranian factual drama Prisoner 951; and, in a crowd-pleasing moment worthy of a hearty A-HA! (and perhaps even a ‘back of the net!”), Steve Coogan took home Male Performance in A Comedy Programme for the brilliant How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge).
Elsewhere on the night, Alan Carr’s Celebrity Traitors triumph was crowned the year’s most memorable TV moment, while the Academy also took the time to honour Dame Mary Berry with the BAFTA Fellowship and Martin Lewis with BAFTA’s Special Award, with both recipients offering touching speeches as they paid tributes to lost loved ones and celebrated receiving richly deserved recognition for their work.
