BBC drama series Accused was by far the most compelling piece of television to air in 2012.
And clearly we weren’t the only ones to think so as yesterday two of the show’s stars, Olivia Colman and Sean Bean, were given gongs at the Royal Television Society Awards.
Olivia, who is currently stealing the show in ITV drama Broadchurch, picked up the Best Actress award, while Sean grabbed the title of Best Actor for his role as a cross-dresser in the hard-hitting series.
