Mortimer and Last One Laughing triumph on TV's big night

Bob Mortimer won a Bafta last night for his performance in Last One Laughing.

He took the award for best entertainment performance while the Amazon show itself won the entertainment Bafta.

Roisin Conaty, sidekick to host Jimmy Carr on the show, thanked the cast as she collected the award, which she called‘an amazing honour’. She added: ‘It's such a beast of a show, it's like a war room trying to keep it together.’

Amandaland won the scripted comedy category, with creator Holly Walsh saying: ‘This award means so much, to all the people who come up to us and say, "I am an Amanda" or "I know an Amanda!"'

Steve Coogan won the award for best actor in a comedy for How Are You? It’s Alan (Partridge).

Collecting his award,  he said: ‘If anyone wants to know when Alan Partridge is going to die, it’s probably going to be about the same time as I’m going to die.  I’ll keep doing and I’m grateful that people appreciate it.’

Katherine Parkinson won the comedy actress award for playing Rachel in Here We Go.

Admitting she hadn’t prepared a speech, she said: ‘I really, really, really, really didn't expect to win.

‘I’m delighted to do a show for the BBC and I'm delighted to do a show that people sit down and watch as a family – as people have said already, it feels increasingly important to be part of something like that.’

Addressing her co-stars, she said: ‘I would like to thank Jim Howick. I would like to thank the mighty Alison Steadman, who was my hero growing up, and now I get to eat custard with her at lunchtimes on days I'm filming with her, obviously not all the time. Although I would be up for that.’

 Alan Carr winning The Celebrity Traitors was named the most memorable TV moment of 2025 in the night’s only category voted by viewers. Mortimer and Richard Ayoade’s speed date on Last One Laughing had also been nominated in this category. 

The Bafta awards, sponsored by P&O Cruises, took place at the Royal Festival Hall in London last night, hosted by Greg Davies.

Adolescence swept the board with four accolades: Owen Cooper for supporting actor, Christine Tremarco for supporting actress, Stephen Graham for leading actor and limited drama for the programme itself.
