Bafta viewers have been left shocked after Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, the Tudor drama starring Mark Rylance and Damian Lewis, was snubbed at the TV awards on Sunday night (11 May).
The series, which is based on Hilary Mantel’s 2009 novel of the same name, was nominated for the biggest prize of the ceremony – Best Drama series – and was the favourite to win, but the award ultimately went to the Northern Ireland-set police drama Blue Lights.
