Reuters/LondonBritish detective drama Broadchurch led the field at the television Bafta awards on Sunday, winning three categories including best drama and best actress.The show follows detectives played by English actress Olivia Colman and David Tennant, who has also starred as Dr Who in the science fiction series of the same name, as they unravel a child murder in a small coastal town.Aired on the ITV network, the show’s finale attracted around 10mn viewers - more than a third of the total British TV audience that night - and has been credited by some critics with reviving the channel’s reputation for drama production.It has since been shown around the world and US network Fox commissioned a remake, named Gracepoint, which will also star Tennant and is scheduled for release later this year.Colman won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts award (Bafta) for best actress, beating Helena Bonham Carter’s portrayal of Elizabeth Taylor in the series “Burton And Taylor”.Such was the secrecy on the Broadchurch set, writer and executive producer Chris Chibnall refused to let cast members know the identity of the killer until hours before the final scene was filmed.“I’m so pleased everyone likes it, we love it. Chris Chibnall is a genius,” said a tearful Colman accepting the award at London’s Royal Festival Hall.Colman, 40, compared herself to Gwyneth Paltrow who was mocked after crying throughout her speech when she won an Oscar for Shakespeare In Love in 1999.In addition to the drama and actress category wins, David Bradley picked up the supporting actor award. US show Breaking Bad, which screened its final episode in September last year, won the international category.
