Domenica si è tenuta al Theatre Royal Drury Lane di Covent Garden di Londra la cerimonia di premiazione dei BAFTA Television Awards 2014, i riconoscimenti assegnati dalla British Academy of Film and Television Arts alle migliori produzioni televisive e ai suoi protagonisti.
Nelle categorie seriali ha fatto la parte del leone Broadchurch capace di affermarsi nella categoria principale, Miglior Drama, e di aggiudicarsi i premi per la migliore attrice protagonista (Olivia Colman) e di migliore attore non protagonista (David Bradley). Vincono i premi di migliore attor e migliore attrice non protagonista rispettivamente Sean Harris (Southcliffe) e Sarah Lancashire (Last Tango in Halifax). Tra le comedy è doppietta per The IT Crowd grazie a Katherine Parkinson (migliore performance femminile) e Richard Ayoade (migliore performance maschile), ma la migliore sitcom è Him & Her The Wedding. Il BAFTA INTERNATIONAL è andato per l’ultima volta a Breaking Bad.
