Sue Perkins took sharp aim at sexism in the television industry as she commanded the stage as the host of the Bafta TV awards.
Perkins used her platform in front of a room of industry professionals to draw attention to the double standards applied to women in showbusiness.
Arriving on stage to present the leading actress gong, James Nesbitt echoed Perkins’ point, saying he was wearing a badge supporting Equal Representation for Actresses.
Witness For The Prosecution star Kim Cattrall also sported the same pin to raise awareness about the lack of roles for older actresses.
