And Last One Laughing UK (pictured), Mitchell & Webb Are Not Helping and Rob Vs Romesh have been nominated in the comedy entertainment category.

The shortlists were announced today ahead of the ceremony, which will be in London on December 1, hosted by  Dara O Briain.

It was also revealed that Netflix drama Adolescence, co-created by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, will receive the event’s most prestigious honour – The Golden Rose – ‘in recognition of its emotional and cultural impact’.

They are up against New Zealand musical comedy Happiness, Amazon’s big-budget anti-superhero series The Boys, Seth Rogan’s Apple TV hit  The Studio, and Sweden’s Cold War satire Whisky On The Rocks.

Meanwhile, the non-British shows in the comedy entertainment category are Japan’s Ants – a physical gameshow in which contestants have to work together like a real ant colony to haul oversized food items across epic obstacle courses, Australian topical panel show Have You Been Paying Attention? and Belgian’s Ultimate Celebrity Car Park Showdown.
