Anna Maxwell Martin won the actress award for true crime drama Until I Kill You - which was filmed in Wales.

Bafta President the Prince of Wales addressed the awards ceremony in Newport, in a message which he recorded while visiting the set of Doctor Who.

Other winners included writer Russell T Davies, who was recognised for a career that has seen him work on Doctor Who and acclaimed drama It's a Sin, among other projects.

A message from the Prince of Wales was played at the awards hosted by TV presenter Owain Wyn Evans.

It was filmed while he visited Bad Wolf Studios in Cardiff last month and toured the sets of BBC sci-fi show Doctor Who and upcoming BBC series The Other Bennet Sister.

He also met recipients of the Prince William Bursary, which supports young people pursuing a career in film or TV and helps to pay for things such as training courses, equipment and relocating.

"Our talent pipeline is world-renowned. And, whilst talent is everywhere, all too often opportunity is lacking," he said in his message, adding that there were more than 50 bursary recipients in Wales.
