Best daytime controversyThere was some controversy around The Best daytime category, after author and former Pointless co-host Richard Osman criticised The small number of nominees.
Just three shows are nominated for best daytime, including One - The Repair Shop's royal Special - which aired at 20:00.
" Daytime TV punches far above its weight in terms of ratings, cost and popularity, " " To have only two daytime shows on this list is a bit of a Kick In The Teeth for producers.
" If I made Bridge Of Lies, Homes Under The Hammer , Come Dine With Me, Lingo etc. I think I'd feel robbed. Why bother having The category? "
Osman said TV can be a " snobbish industry sometimes" adding: " I love all three of those nominated shows (but The Brilliant Repair Shop was on at 8pm). "
A Bafta spokesman told Bbc News having three nomination slots is normal practice for categories with fewer than 20 submissions, adding The Repair Shop: A Royal Visit " was deemed eligible by Bafta's TV committee because it was originally commissioned by Daytime and for its volume of output as a series".
