First nominations for Phoebe Waller-Bridge

Phoebe Waller-Bridge could bag her first Bafta – or two – for Fleabag.

She is up for two gongs in the academy's craft awards: best comedy writer and the breakthrough talent award.

Also in the running for the comedy writing accolade is Julia Davis for Camping; Steve Coogan and Neil and Rob Gibbons for  Alan Partridge's Scissored Isle; and Stefan Golaszwewski for Mum.

And in the breakthrough category, Waller-Bridge faces competition from Mahalia Belo and Sarah Quintrell, who directed and starred in the TV drama about a tearaway teen, Ellen; and Vinay Patel, writer of Murdered by My Father.

Fleabag is also up for best editing.

In other categories, Tracey Ullman's Show is up for best make-up and hair design alongside War and Peace, Victoria and the San Juniperio episode of Black Mirror (which has also been nominated for its costume design).

The craft awards, for technical achievements, will be given out on April 23. The main Bafta TV awards will be on May 14.
