The BBC leads the nominations for this year's British Academy Television Craft Awards with five nominations for period drama Parade's End.

The series, which starred Benedict Cumberbatch and Rebecca Hall and was adapted from the novel of Ford Madox Ford, is shortlisted for best costume design, make-up/hair, production design and visual effects as well as best drama writer for Sir Tom Stoppard.

Further recognition for the BBC's period drama department comes with another four nods for Ripper Street, The Girl and The Hour which was recently axed by the broadcaster.

Up against Parade's End in the best drama writer prize category are The Accused (Tracie's Story), The Girl and Last Tango In Halifax.
