BAFTA TV Awards aired on BBC One this evening and was hosted by Graham Norton at the Royal Festival Hall in London.
One particular award led to viewers flocking to social media after the winner was announced by actor Kelsey Grammer.
Derry Girls on Channel 4, Mum on BBC, Sally4Aver on Sky Atlantic and Stath Lets Flats on Channel 4 were all nominated in the Scripted Comedy Category.
When Sally4Ever was announced as the winner viewers took to Twitter to express their outrage at Derry Girls failing to win the award.
One said: “Really feel that Derry Girls should have one best scripted comedy #BAFTATV.”
“I’m sorry but Derry girls were robbed of that award!! They totally deserved it hopefully next time @Djllewellyn @nicolacoughlan @SaoirseJackson @louisa_harland @JamieLeeOD @louisa_harland @LisaMMcGee #DerryGirls,” a third tweeted.

“Can’t believe #derrygirls didn’t win #BAFTATV It’s one of the best comedies in years!”
