TV Choice Awards nominations revealed - Normal People leads the pack
The record-breaking BBC adaptation is nominated for Best New Drama alongside two acting nods for the series leads, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal.
BBC Three's adaptation of Normal People has swept the nation - and now it looks set to sweep the board at the upcoming TV Choice Awards, with a leading three nominations.
The coming-of-age Irish drama, adapted from Sally Rooney's bestseller, is leading the pack in the Best New Drama category, although it's still all to play for with the popular Gangs Of London, Gentleman Jack, and the true crime drama White House Farm also nominated.
Normal People's breakout stars and series leads, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, are nominated for Best Actress and Best Actor respectively.
The BBC Three drama was Mescal's first ever on-screen role, but he'll be facing competition from well-established actors: David Tennant (Deadwater Fell), Martin Clunes (Doc Martin), and Stephen McGann (Call The Midwife) are all nominated for Best Actor.
Edgar-Jones is also facing off against household names in the Best Actress category including Jodie Comer (Killing Eve) Brenda Blethyn (Vera), and Michelle Keegan (Our Girl).
In the Best Drama series category (for returning dramas), old BBC favourites Killing Eve, Our Girl and Peaky Blinders are in the running against Netflix teen series Sex Education.
