Richard Ayoade is set to host the BAFTAs on Sunday, May 8 from the Royal Festival Hall in London. With a galaxy of stars anticipated to attend, the talents of some of the British television industry's biggest names will be celebrated throughout the glitzy ceremony.
Since the first BAFTAs took place back in 1948, scores of memorable moments have taken place both on the red carpet and on stage. Various generations of stars have been cheered on by audiences watching along at home as they collect their star-studded accolades, but not everything goes to plan.

Here are just some fan favourite moments from both the film and television awards that have graced our screens over the years.
