Bafta viewers were left furious after veteran actors Timothy West, Bernard Hill and Brian Murphy were “snubbed” from the In Memoriam segment of the awards show.
However, there was good reason for their exclusion from the segment as the Bafta TV Awards are due to take place on Sunday 27 April.
The film awards were held at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday (16 February) with Hollywood actors Adrien Brody, Selena Gomez, Timothée Chalamet, Ariana Grande and Zoe Saldaña flying in to attend.
Praising his late wife for “always supporting” his career and encouraging him to go for roles, Davis joked that her desire for him to take a job corresponded to how much she wanted to buy a new handbag.
In other tributes, Warwick Davis left viewers in tears with a sweet tribute to his wife as he was awarded the Bafta’s highest honour, the Fellowship Prize.
