BAFTA TV Awards announces shortlist for Memorable Moment 2024
With the likes of Doctor Who, Succession and Happy Valley among the nominees, good luck choosing your favourite...
With this year's BAFTA Film Awards having been and gone, all eyes are now on the BAFTA Television Awards in just two months' time – and the nominees in the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment Award category have been announced.
The Memorable Moment Award is a big one, as it's the only trophy decided by a public vote.
To give you an idea of the kind of huge moments that have been recognised in the category before, it's previously gone to Paddington meeting the Queen for the Platinum Jubilee, Rose and Giovanni's silent dance for Strictly Come Dancing, and Diversity's routine on the theme of 2020 for Britain's Got Talent. So you get the idea.
The six nominated moments this year are:
- Beckham (Netflix) - David teases Victoria about her 'working class' upbringing
- Doctor Who (BBC One) - Ncuti Gatwa being revealed as the 15th Doctor
- Happy Valley (BBC One) - Catherine Cawood and Tommy Lee Royce's final kitchen showdown
- Succession (Sky Atlantic) - Logan Roy's death
- The Last of Us (Sky Atlantic) - Bill and Frank
- The Piano (Channel 4) - 13-year old Lucy stuns commuters with jaw-dropping piano performance
Voting for this year's contenders has now opened, and you can select your favourite at www.bafta.org/moment. Voting will close on Tuesday 9th April and the winner will then be announced at the ceremony on Sunday 12th May.
And that's not all. You'll also have the opportunity to enter a prize draw to win one of 100 pairs of ceremony tickets to the BAFTA Television Awards with P&O Cruises when you vote.
This year's nominations were compiled by an independent jury of influential TV critics as well as TV personality, former Love Island contestant and P&O Cruises brand ambassador Amy Hart. The jury was chaired by BAFTA’s Television Committee Chair, Hilary Rosen.
