Stephen Graham took home the BAFTA Television Award for leading actor on Sunday night for his performance as Eddie Miller – the beleaguered plumber and father who serves as his 13-year-old son’s “appropriate adult” through a police arrest that will shatter everything his family has built – in “Adolescence.”

The win is Graham’s first BAFTA Television Award in eight nominations, all in the acting categories, a fact Graham noted when collecting his award. “I’ve been nominated eight times and it’s the first time I’ve won,” he told the audience, before adding: “Nice one BAFTA, this is lovely.”
