The dramatisation of the investigation into serial killer Fred West picked up four nominations for Leading Actor (Dominic West), Leading Actress (Emily Watson), Supporting Actress (Monica Dolan) and Mini Series.

BBC’s Sherlock and This is England ’88 tied in second spot, recieving three nominations each.
