Harry Hill: Won Bafta Television awards

Harry Hill: Won Bafta Television awards

English comedian Harry Hill took home his third prize at the Bafta Television awards on Sunday.

The 44 year old Harry Hill won best entertainment performance at the Bafta, beating Stephen Fry, Ant and Dec, and Jonathan Ross, who was nominated despite being suspended by the BBC for three months over offensive phone calls to actor Andrew Sachs.

In 2008, Hill won two Baftas and another in 2009 for best entertainment show.

After winning the award, Hill said, "I never thought I'd get three Baftas for a clip show. Ridiculous".

However, the funnyman's "TV Burp" show lost out to "The X Factor" in the best entertainment category.

Other notable winners included Sir David Attenborough who won the specialist factual programme award for the "Life in Cold Blood" series, his sixth Bafta, which comes almost 50 years after he won his first award.

Graham Norton hosted the awards at London's Royal Festival Hall on Sunday night.
