“The Crown” could well bow out in style on home soil, with the final outing of the show leading the list of nominees for the 2024 BAFTA TV and TV Craft awards, announced Wednesday.
Netflix’s hit royal drama — which came to an end last year after six seasons — landed eight nominations in total, including for Dominic West, Elizabeth Debecki, Lesley Manville and Salim Daw in the performance categories. However, it missed out for drama series (an award it has been nominated for three times previously).
Just behind “The Crown” and also a Netflix production, the apocalyptic “Black Mirror” episode “Demon 79” earned seven nominations, including limited drama and leading actress for Anjana Vasan.
Further down in a tight group of frontrunners, BBC dramas “Happy Valley” and “The Sixth Commandment and Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses” each have six nominations. Sarah Lancashire’s leading actress nomination for “Happy Valley” could see...

The Crown’s swansong season has dominated the BAFTA TV nominations, picking up eight in a record year for Netflix.
Although it missed out in the coveted Drama Series category, four of the Netflix royal smash’s actors were handed nods today including Dominic West, who played Prince Charles, and Elizabeth Debicki, who was Princess Diana. Salim Daw and Lesley Manville are the other two nominated actors and actresses, while The Crown also received nominations in the likes of costume design, make up and sound.
Netflix achieved a record haul and was second only to the BBC with nominations, comfortably eclipsing stalwarts ITV and Channel 4 as Top Boy and Black Mirror were also rewarded.
Although not its most critically-rated season, Peter Morgan’s royal saga ended late last year with a bang and plenty controversy, and the noms come amid the ongoing Kate Middleton saga.

Michelle Heaton has thrown her Strictly Come Dancing hat in the ring by saying she would love to appear this series.
The former Liberty X singer has been rumoured for a spot on this year's Strictly lineup - an idea which she is fully behind.
"I think it's every girl's dream to do a show that makes you feel really glamorous and special and the last few years have been really rough so it'd be really nice to feel womanly again and do something positive and learn a craft," she told Lorraine Kelly this morning (June 29) on ITV.
Heaton underwent a preventative double mastectomy in 2012 and then a full hysterectomy last year after discovering she carried the mutated BRCA2 gene.
Her former bandmate Jessica Taylor previously took part in spinoff Strictly Ice Dancing in 2005, before coming fourth in ITV's Dancing on Ice in 2009.

Pretty much the first thing Digital Spy saw when making our way down the stairs to the Grand Room in London's Grosvenor House, location of the TV BAFTAs after-party, was Danny Dyer posing with a young boy as his dad took a picture, presumably making the little guy beam by complimenting his "lovely" mini tux.
That's the kind of event we're talking about here - an event where a star arguably still best known for playing violent, foul-mouthed British gangsters can take a moment to make some kid's night. Everyone was happy. Everyone was in a friendly mood. And everyone was ready to party.
But first, these people needed some food. Some hit the red carpet way back at 5pm after a good couple of hours of preparation, and then had to sit through an entire awards ceremony. If Claudia Winkleman displays half as much passion about Strictly as she did about dessert,...

Michelle Heaton preferred working with Liberty X on 'The Big Reunion' compared to when they started in the 2000s. The 34-year-old singer was reunited with former bandmates Tony Lundon, Kevin Simm, Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young earlier this year for the ITV2 series, which documented their comeback and featured them playing their greatest hits on a show tour, and the brunette beauty loved not having to worry about where their music would chart.

Atomic Kitten, Liberty X, Blue and the rest of the Big Reunion lineup made their long-awaited return to the stage at a special concert in London last night (February 26).
Along with 5ive, B*Witched, 911 and The Honeyz, the '90s and early '00s pop favourites performed their classic tunes in front of a crowd of thousands at the Hammersmith Apollo.
Michelle Heaton, Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young made perhaps the most eye-catching appearance of the night along with their Liberty X bandmates Kevin Simm and Tony Lundon when they sung 'Just A Little', slipping back into the skintight black Pvc catsuits they first donned 11 years ago with ease.
The performance was particularly poignant for Heaton, who underwent a double mastectomy last November after being told she has a significant chance of developing cancer.
She is also scheduled to undergo major heart surgery that will determine whether she needs a pacemaker.

Strictly Come Dancing professional Flavia Cacace has split from Matt Di Angelo.
The pair met on the show three years ago, when they made it to the 2007 final but were beaten by current show judge Alesha Dixon.
Flavia, 31 – who was partner with actor Jimi Mistry until they were eliminated last week, says that she split from Matt weeks ago but insists that they are still on speaking terms.
She told The Sun: “We have broken up. It was due to our work – travelling so much and being away from home so much. We are still in touch and very good friends.”
Flavia had previously been dating fellow dancer Vincent Simone and broke uop with him just days before she embarked on a relationship with Matt.
In 2008 the estranged husband of Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton accused Matt of cheating on Flavia with his wife and destroying his marriage to the star.

The stunt takes place during their Ghostbusters performance and an onlooker at London’s O2 arena told The Sun: “We all thought it was part of the show until a crew member came on looking a bit worried and helped him out.”

Kieron Richardson
Arghhhh, my eyes my eyes! What the feck is Kieron Richardson wearing? Dayglo Seventies awfulness. His wee partner looks small enough to fit in your pocket, doesn’t she? They’re doing a disco-flavoured routine to Play That Funky Music by Wild Cherry. A shaky routine to say the least, ended particularly badly when he almost dropped Brianne on her head!
Points: 15. Robin: Every week is different. You were on the button with the music. Tough when you’re working with a partner who has the presence Brianne has. Not as good as last week. Jason: A lot of your movement, there’s no end to them.
