The acting awards, though only centring on the very mainstream – Doctor Who, Sherlock, Merlin, Call the Midwife – also seemed to go to the right people. Miranda Hart’s performance as Chummy in Call the Midwife, although not particularly subtle, has a warmth and humanity which the public clearly love. She won Best Actress. But the surprise winner of the evening was Colin Morgan as the boy wizard Merlin. As ever, much of the media reported on the Sherlock/Doctor Who rivalry (both shows went home empty handed), and so it was a lovely moment when the rather underpraised Irishman was honoured.
