In second place with seven nominations is A Thousand Blows, which was made by Peaky Blinder creator Steven Knight.

In third place with six nominations each is spin off drama Andor and Trespasses, the drama about a romance set across the dividing lines of religion in Northern Ireland.
The biggest show to get a raft of nominations is ‘s The Celebrity Traitors which is up for five gongs.
Some of the more interesting nominations include and Alan Carr for their Spanish Job renovation show on BBC One.
That sees them go up against Bob Mortimer on Last One Laughing on Prime Video and on The Celebrity Traitors, among others.
Though I’m A Celebrity..Get Me Out of Here! was snubbed entirely, as was which didn’t make it into the Daytime nominations list.
Strictly has also been snubbed – which means that Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman won’t be there to potentially go up and collect the award for the final time.
This marks the first time in eight years the show has not been nominated for anything, off the back of their professional dancer bloodbath.
Strictly usually gets at least the Entertainment Programme nod, sometimes the Entertainment Performance for Claudia and twice the Memorable Moment – both times it won that.
But this year, zero nominations.
The last time that happened was 2018.
was nominated for Best Actress in a Comedy for Amandaland, even though she only made a guest appearance in the Christmas special.
