May 13, 2013 The BAFTA red carpet was rolled out again on Sunday night as some of the biggest stars in telly turned out to see who scooped a British Academy Television Award. There was the good (hello Holly Willoughby), the bad (sorry Tina Malone), the bizarre (we're looking at you, Grayson Perry) and the unfortunate (whoops Millie Mackintosh).
