The Crown has been named as the best programme on a streamed service by those who write about the medium.

Claire Foy who plays The Queen was named Best Actress for her role in the second series of the show, just days after it was revealed that she had been paid less for the series than her co-star Matt Smith.
The Best Multichannel Programme was Sky Atlantic’s The Trip to Spain featuring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.
Sponsored by Virgin TV, this year’s BPG television winners also included Sir David Attenborough, Prue Leith, Mark Bonnar, Mackenzie Crook, Toby Jones, Chris Packham and Jed Mercurio.
