Comedians and good mates Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett will bring their trademark banter and jibes to the stage of London’s Royal Festival Hall on Sunday when they host this year’s BAFTA TV Awards.

Following in the footsteps of previous hosts including Graham Norton and Richard Ayoade, the pair will preside over a star-studded event that, this year, sees This Is Going to Hurt, The Responder and The Crown leading the pack.

TV&Satellite Week met up Ranganathan, 45, and Beckett, 37, to talk nerves, nominees and who they’re rooting for…
