THE Bafta nominations for 2022 have been released.
BBC Drama Vigil has been nominated for a Bafta in the Best Series category.
The show follows Detective Chief Inspector Amy Silva on a fictional ballistic missile submarine of the Royal Navy in Scotland.
It depicted an investigation into the death of a crew member on a Trident nuclear submarine and was the UK’s most-watched new drama launch in four years, since Bodyguard in 2018.
It attracted an audience of over 13 million viewers across 30-days for episode one, and the series overall had an average of 12.6m viewers (30-days).

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
