Alan Cumming quizzes Rob Brydon about the mysterious fishing trip
Alan Cumming quizzed Gavin And Stacey star Rob Brydon on the mysterious fishing trip, a running joke throughout the popular BBC series.
Rob's character, Bryn and his nephew Jason are constantly avoiding questions from family members about what exactly happened on the fishing trip they went on together, but have sworn to never reveal the truth.
"Please answer it for us now. Uncle Bryn, what actually happened in that camping trip?" asked Alan, to which Rob began: "I never talk".
The actor was quickly cut off by Alan, who moved on to the next nomination, prompting loud applause and laughter from the audience.
"Oh, sorry, Rob. We've got to go straight on with the next award. We'll pick it up at next year's Bafta," he added.

Who is likely to win big this year?

This year's most-nominated shows are Baby Reindeer, with eight nods, followed by Mr Bates vs The Post Office, Rivals and Slow Horses, which all received six.
Other shows with multiple nominations are Say Nothing and Life and Death in Gaza, which both received four nods.
