The Bafta TV Awards 2023’s memorable moment – previously labelled the must see moment – nominations are finally out, with the likes of The Traitors and Derry Girls getting nods.

This year’s glittering award ceremony has seen This Is Going to Hurt and The Responder receiving six nominations each across various categories, while Bad Sisters, The Crown, The English and Slow Horses have received five nods, with Daisy May Cooper’s Am I Being Unreasonable? and Big Boys getting four.

Nominations for categories including leading actor, best entertainment programme, and live event were announced earlier this year, but fans were eagerly awaiting to see who would follow in the footsteps of Strictly Come Dancing’s Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice.

And the wait is finally over, as the nominees for the only award where the public can choose their winner are out.

This year’s nominees include The Finale of Derry Girls, Nick and Charlie’s First Kiss in Heartstopper, when Paddington met the Queen during the late monarch’s Jubilee celebrations, and Kate Bush’s iconic Running Up That Hill in Stranger Things.

Completing the line-up are The Traitors’ final round table and Sir Mo Farah revealing that he was illegally trafficked to the UK in The Real Mo Farah.

The Derry Girls finale saw focused on the referendum to vote in whether the Good Friday Agreement would pass. 

The Good Friday Agreement was a major development in the Northern Ireland peace process, consisting of a pair of agreements signed in April 1998, ending most of the violence of The Troubles, a political conflict in Northern Ireland which began in the late 1960s.

The sitcom already received two nods in other categories, for scripted comedy and Siobhan McSweeney nominated for female performance in a comedy programme.

While Joe Locke and Kit Connor missed out on an award for Heartstopper in any other category, their first kiss is up for memorable moment, with writer Alice Oseman also receiving a nomination in the writer: drama category.

Elsewhere, Stranger Things missed out on a nomination for international award, which sees Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story and Wednesday up against The White Lotus and Pachinko, but Kate Bush’s haunting Running Up That Hill is up after an iconic scene which sees Lucas, Dustin and Steve rush to save Max from Vecna.

40 years since the song’s release, the musician earned her number one spot in the charts after her music was discovered for the first time by a brand new generation.

The Traitors final, which saw Faithfuls Aaron Evans, Meryl Williams and Hannah Byczkowski take home the £101,050 prize money after Wilfred Webster was caught out in his act, is also up for a nomination.

The final roundtable saw fellow Traitor Kieran Tompsett leaving his co-stars with a ‘parting gift’ in some seriously Shakespearean levels of psychodrama and back-stabbing.

Concluding the nominations list is Sir Mo’s documentary The Real Mo Farah, in which he reveals that he was illegally trafficked to the UK.

The four-time Olympic gold medal winner recalled how he was brought into the country under another child’s name and tricked into thinking he was going to live with relatives.

‘The truth is I’m not who you think I am,’ said the 39-year-old athlete, who was born Hussein Abdi Kahin.

He then states: ‘When I was four my dad was killed in the civil war, as a family we were torn apart. I was separated from my mother, and I was brought into the UK illegally under the name of another child called Mohamed Farah.’

Sir Mo’s PE teacher, Alan Watkinson, applied for Sir Mo’s British citizenship and he received his citizenship on July 25, 2000, when he was 17.

He went on to become the first British track and field athlete to win four Olympic gold medals.
