The National Television Awards won't be held until September but viewers can already start voting for their favourites to win, including hits like The Pembrokeshire Murders, It's a Sin, White House Farm and Des.

The long-list of nominees is now out and Welsh-made drama, The Pembrokeshire Murders, and its star Luke Evans, are up for an award. Airing in January the three-part drama is nominated alongside Llanharan-filmed Gangs of London and It's a Sin for best drama series.

Evans is a contender for Best Drama Performance as Steve Wilkins, who helped solve the cold case of a double murder in Pembrokeshire in the 1980s. Read more about that drama and who was in it.

And Olly Alexander is up for his role as Ritchie Tozer in It's a Sin, the runaway success of early 2021.
