Bodyguard’s nailbiting opening scene has won TV Moment Of The Year – beating The Great British Bake Off.
The 20-minute opener featured Richard Madden’s alter-ego David Budd trying to prevent a terrorist attack on a commuter train.
Other contenders had included Rahul Mandal’s win on The Great British Bake Off and Jack Fincham’s ex-girlfriend arriving on reality show Love Island.
Bodyguard was voted TV Moment Of The Year in Heat magazine’s Unmissables Awards, decided by a panel of industry experts.
Jed Mercurio, creator of the BBC One drama, which also starred Keeley Hawes, said “everyone involved is immensely grateful for the response to the series”.
Dermot O’Leary was crowned best TV and radio presenter, Coronation Street scooped Soap Of The Year, and Doctor Who star Jodie Whittaker won the actress title.
