Fantasy drama Game of Thrones has scooped the Radio Times Audience Award at this year’s Bafta Television Awards, the only award decided by the public.
In
a closely fought battle that saw tens of thousands of viewers voting
for their favourite show of the year, series two of the HBO drama –
which airs in the UK on Sky Atlantic – beat off competition from period
drama Call the Midwife, The Great British Bakeoff, US conspiracy
thriller Homeland, Strictly Come Dancing and coverage of the Olympic
Opening Ceremony.
Dance and Christie joined producer Frank Vogler on stage to accept the
award. Asked afterwards what was the key to the show's success, Vogler
said it was impossible to identify a single element and that it was very
much a team effort.
