London : US TV show “True Detective” and Benedict Cumberbatch’s “Sherlock” managed to bag honours at the BAFTA TV Awards that took place on Sunday at London’s Theatre Royal.
“True Detective”, one of The HBO anthology series took home a prize in International category, beating “The Good Wife”, “House of Cards” and “Orange Is the New Black”.

“Happy Valley” took the top honour for Drama Series, while “Detectorists” was hailed as the best Situation comedy.
“The Graham Norton Show” nabbed an award for Comedy and Comedy Entertainment Program, while “Sherlock” grabbed the Radio Times Audience Award which was voted by viewers. Norton hosted the Sunday ceremony.
