BBC drama A Very English Scandal was the big winner at the Bafta TV Craft Awards, scooping three gongs.
The programme based on the Jeremy Thorpe scandal, which starred Hugh Grant, was awarded the Costume Design and Editing: Fiction prizes, while Stephen Frears was honoured in the Director: Fiction category.
It beat favourite Killing Eve, which had nine nominations – the most of any programme – going into the ceremony.
The drama about an MI5 officer (Sandra Oh) hunting a psychotic assassin (Jodie Comer) did not go home empty-handed, winning for Original Music and Sound: Fiction.

The ceremony was hosted by Stephen Mangan and presenters included Priyanga Burford, Greg Davies, Mel Giedroyc, Alex Kingston, Malachi Kirby, Bruce Oldfield and Michael Palin.
Mangan opened with a video which showed him taking off Killing Eve assassin Villanelle.
The parody, entitled Killing Steve, saw the star don a frothy pink dress to portray Villanelle, who is played by Jodie Comer in the show.
His character is being interviewed by two people who question the “psychopathic quality” to his recent awards presenting.
After they have quizzed him, he whips out a gun and shoots them both.
“Oops!” he says.
The Bafta TV Craft Awards were held at The Brewery, City of London.
