And Catastrophe wins writing award

Rob Delaney and Sharon Horgan have won a Bafta award for writing Catastophe.

And at the same ceremony Chewing Gum creator and star Michaela Coel was named the Breakthrough Talent of 2016.

They were winners at the Bafta Craft Awards, with Delaney and Horgan scooping the comedy writing award over fellow nominees Julia Davis, Barunka O'Shaughnessy for Hunderby, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain for Peep Show and the team behind Peter Kay's Car Share.

Here they are collecting their award.

And Coel used her speech to urge other people whose voices are underrepresented in TV to get proactive.

She said: 'I'd probably take this time to urge anyone from an ethnic minority background, women, people deemed as otherwise disabled to get behind the camera. To start writing the stories if you want them to be told.'
