Adolescence Stars Shine in Leather at BAFTAs 2025

BBG News

The television series “Adolescence” features Erin Doherty, Ashley Walters, and Owen Cooper, who all sported stylish black leather ensembles while attending the prestigious BAFTA TV Awards on a glamorous red carpet last Saturday.

32-year-old actress Erin, known for her role as Briony Ariston, stunned in a chic, sequined black leather gown. The dress boasted a broad, wire-edged neckline and voluminous, over-sized sleeves.

In a striking glittery black leather number, Erin, 32, who portrays Briony Ariston, was breathtaking. The dress showcased an expansive wired collar and dramatic bell-shaped sleeves.

Both sentences convey the same information but in slightly different ways to provide variety and keep the reader engaged.

The dress she wore had a defined waistline that expanded towards the hem, and it boasted an audacious split along its leg area.

To complete her high-fashion style, Erin pulled back her dark hair into a central part, revealing her heavily adorned ears.

At the glamorous gathering, Ashley, aged 42, exuded timeless charm, stepping off in a stylishly loose leather coat and matching it with sleek black tailored pants.

The actor portraying DI Luke Bascombe had an elegant appearance when he completed his outfit with a neat white shirt and a thick black tie.

Ashley opted for a refined look by wearing large, black leather loafers and a set of square black glasses.

16-year-old lead actor, Owen, exuded elegance while stepping onto the red carpet in a stylish Louis Vuitton bomber jacket for the event’s arrival.

He matched his designer item with fitted black pants, a relaxed black tee, and thick black leather sneakers.

During this past year, the series “Adolescence” created a milestone for British television by being the very first streaming program to take the title as the most-viewed television show in a single week.

Since its premiere on Netflix in March, the drama has gripped both viewers and critics alike, thanks to each episode being shot in a single, uninterrupted take.

According to data from BARB, approximately 6.45 million viewers tuned in for the premiere within its initial seven days.

In simple terms, the viewership for this streaming show is now the highest ever recorded for a weekly audience in the UK, surpassing the 6.3 million viewers who watched “Fool Me Once” on Netflix last year.

As a devoted follower, I found myself captivated by a four-episode series that delves into the life of the Miller family, whose world crumbles when their 13-year-old son, Jamie, is apprehended for the tragic act of taking a classmate’s life with a knife. This heartrending event was reportedly triggered by the insidious influence of online misogyny.

The play captivates spectators by realistically depicting the effects that harmful social media influencers and misogyny can have on impressionable teenage boys.

During the second airing of adolescence, approximately 5.94 million viewers tuned in, placing it as the second most-watched program, just behind BBC’s The Apprentice and Death In Paradise, which garnered third and fourth place respectively.

In terms of viewership, the third installment ranked fifth among all episodes, attracting approximately 5.14 million viewers, whereas the penultimate and last episode drew an audience of around 4.65 million.

On Sunday, the 2025 BAFTA Television Awards, sponsored by P&O Cruises, will be held at the Royal Festival Hall located within London’s Southbank Centre.

The glamorous event promises an array of renowned personalities receiving accolades for exceptional TV work, accompanied by remarkable performances on stage.

Notable musicians Jessie J and Tom Grennan are slated to perform at an upcoming event, where energetic Jessie will make her television debut in six years with “The Award Goes To.” This will be her first performance on screen in that period.

In an exclusive television event, the multi-platinum pop sensation Tom will debut his latest single titled “Full Attention.

The performances will be broadcast during the awards show on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this coming Sunday, May 11th, starting at 7pm.

Furthermore, it’s been verified that renowned concert violinist and social media star, Esther Abrami, is scheduled to play Apple Tree during the In Memoriam tribute.

Regarding my performance, Jessie J stated: “It’s been quite some time since I sang on British TV. This comeback is truly an honor! However, the big question now is who will receive the award.

In the meantime, Tom commented, “It’s truly an honor to be asked to perform at the renowned BAFTA, surrounded by so many accomplished actors and creative minds.

For the very first time, renowned Scottish entertainer, Alan Cumming, will be the host of a glamorous ceremony.

(Alternatively, For the first occasion, Scottish actor, author, producer, and presenter Alan Cumming will preside over the grand event.)

Emma Baehr, the Head of Awards and Content at BAFTA, expressed her joy that Alan Cumming will serve as the host for this year’s BAFTA Television Awards, alongside P&O Cruises.

‘Without a doubt, he’ll infuse an element of playful trickery and joy into the event, making it unpredictable. Therefore, spectators at the grand TV celebration in Britain on Sunday, 11th May should be prepared for the unexpected.’

Meanwhile, the contenders for the BAFTA Television Awards 2025 P&O Cruises Moment of the Year have been revealed.

As a dedicated enthusiast, I eagerly anticipate the clash among six outstanding television series, including Gavin and Stacey, The Traitors, and Bridgerton, in the race for one of the evening’s most prestigious awards.

In this category, it’s exclusively open for the public to express their preference and cast a vote for their most favored scene.

In the previous year, the BAFTA Television Awards garnered an average viewership of approximately 2.7 million on BBC One and iPlayer, while the event’s social media coverage amassed more than 7 million views online.

For the very first time in its 20-year run, Strictly Come Dancing was not nominated in any category, unlike in previous award events.

Year after year since the relaunch of the program in 2004, this beloved BBC pick has consistently earned a nomination in the Entertainment Programme category.

Last year’s global sensation, Baby Reindeer, truly captured the hearts of many, and I was among them. This heartwarming series has now earned an astounding eight nominations, making it a front-runner in the Netflix realm.

Richard Gadd, the writer and lead actor in a series based on his personal encounters with stalking, has been nominated for the Lead Actor category, while his fellow actress, Jessica Gunning, has been recognized for her role as a supporting character, earning a nomination for the Supporting Actress award.

In the Limited Drama section, Baby Reindeer competes against ITV’s production titled Mr. Bates vs The Post Office. This drama is inspired by one of the most significant miscarriages of justice in British law, where numerous innocent sub-postmasters and postmistresses were falsely accused of theft, fraud, and accounting irregularities due to a faulty IT system.

In the nomination tally, both Mr. Bates and The Post Office as well as the Disney series Rivals and Apple TV’s Slow Horses each garnered six nods.

Among those nominated for the Best Entertainment Performance category are Ant & Dec, The Traitors, and Stacey Solomon from Sort Your Life Out.

Here are the six leading actress nominees: Anna Maxwell Martin (for her role in Until I Kill You), Billie Piper (Scoop), Lola Petticrew (Say Nothing), Marisa Abela (Industry), Monica Dolan (Mr Bates vs The Post Office), and Sharon D Clarke (Mr Loverman).

These five actors – David Tennant, Gary Oldman, Lennie James, Martin Freeman, and Toby Jones – are all in contention to receive the award for best actor, each showcasing their exceptional talents in their respective roles: “Rivals” for David Tennant, “Slow Horses” for Gary Oldman, “Mr Loverman” for Lennie James, “The Responder” for Martin Freeman, and “Mr Bates vs The Post Office” for Toby Jones.

Twenty-one out of forty-four performers who were nominated for awards in the television performance categories are experiencing their first BAFTA Television Awards nominations.

Actor Danny Dyer, well-known for his soap opera roles, has been nominated for his first BAFTA award in the Best Male Comedy Performance category, thanks to his part in Mr Bigstuff.

In the illustrious Best Drama category, the gritty crime dramas “Blue Lights” and “Sherwood” will compete against the popular superhero series “Supacell” and the critically-acclaimed historical drama “Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.

2024 proved exceptional in the world of television, as evidenced by the 134 outstanding programs put forward for nomination by Bafta members, according to Jane Millichip, CEO of Bafta.

Television’s ability to spark nationwide dialogue, delve into captivating tales that resonate with the public, and catalyze societal transformation, is truly unmatched. What makes it even more remarkable is its versatility across all genres.

2019’s nominees encompass a diverse range of emotions and real-life experiences, showcasing the excitement of sports, the truthfulness of stories, the raw humanity in documentaries, the thought-provoking nature of comedy, and profoundly moving entertainment – all facets that mirror the complexities of the human experience.

UK television is currently at its peak, and it’s an honor for Bafta to highlight the exceptional work of our exceptionally talented nominees during the Bafta Television Craft Awards and Bafta Television Awards with P&O Cruises. Don’t miss out on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on May 11. You won’t just find out who takes home the awards, but you might also discover your next must-watch series.
