The 2025 British Academy Television Awards ceremony was held on 11 May 2025 at the Royal Festival Hall in London, to recognise the excellence in British television of 2024. The ceremony was hosted by Alan Cumming and was broadcast on BBC One.
The nominations were announced on 27 March 2025 alongside the nominations for the 2025 British Academy Television Craft Awards. The nominees for the P&O Cruises Memorable Moment were announced on 11 March 2025. The limited dramas Baby Reindeer and Mr Bates vs The Post Office led the nominations with four each, followed by Mr Loverman, Rivals, Say Nothing, Slow Horses and The Traitors, all with three each.
The academy announced the creation of two categories for the 2025 edition:
- As with their film counterpart, the television awards have created categories specifically for content designed for audiences aged 16 and under, replacing the British Academy Children's Awards. Therefore, two television categories were created: Children's Scripted and Children's Non-Scripted. The former for scripted drama or comedy content either live-action or animation, and the latter for non-scripted such as factual, factual entertainment, documentary and news.
The BAFTA Fellowship was presented to Scottish journalist, broadcaster, and presenter Kirsty Wark. In a statement accompanying the announcement, BAFTA CEO Jane Millichip said “I am beyond delighted to present this year’s BAFTA Fellowship to Kirsty Wark. Kirsty’s dedication is unwavering when it comes to telling the stories that really matter. Her legacy is unmatched in the world of news and current affairs broadcasting. Her ability to inform and engage her readers, listeners and viewers is truly inspiring. And she does all this with enormous charm and wit. We are thrilled to celebrate her continued and lasting impact on the industry and beyond.”
