Bernard Cribbins was honoured at the 2023 BAFTA Television awards on Sunday, after stars and fans of the actor were unhappy that he was previously snubbed at the Film awards.
The actor was included in the ‘in memoriam’ segment, alongside comedian and presenter Paul O’Grady and Strictly Come Dancing judge, Len Goodman, who both passed away in March aged 67.
The academy also paid tribute to other television stars, including Jerry Springer, host of the eponymous American talk show who passed away last month, the comedian Barry Humphries who was known for his act Dame Edna Everage, Hi-De-Hi! Actress Ruth Madoc and Emmerdale actor, Dale Meeks.
