Love Island won its first ever Bafta, for best reality show, while Casualty scooped its first Bafta for 11 years, for best soap or continuing drama.
And Brian F O'Byrne, who played the father of murdered Rhys Jones in ITV's docudrama Little Boy Blue, was named best supporting actor.
He dedicated the award to Rhys, who was 11 when he was shot dead in Liverpool in 2007.
Peaky Blinders beat shows like Line of Duty and The Crown to the coveted prize for best drama series.
Rio Ferdinand says winning a Bafta award for the documentary he made about family life after his wife died of cancer means more to him than all the trophies he won during his football career.
The film - called Being Mum And Dad - showed Rio struggling with his grief.
He says people want to talk about the programme rather than football - which means it's "truly been worthwhile".

The 600 people invited to Harry and Meghan’s wedding this Saturday should have a good breakfast before setting off... because they’re not getting a dinner. In an unusual move, the pair have decided to serve food bowls at their wedding reception, which is a very casual way of eating, and everyone will be standing around while doing so.
A separate dinner for 200 people or so will be hosted by Price Charles later on that evening. Each morsel has been designed to be eaten in just 2 bites!
The Rolling Stones have jetted in on their private plane, which landed just after 5pm yesterday.
Mick then headed to watch day three of the Test cricket between Ireland and Pakistan at Malahide, north Co Dublin, where he was seen enjoying a glass of Guinness.
He plans to stay at the Merrion where as the rest will lodge at the Intercontinental Hotel in Ballsbridge.
Richards famously said in his memoir: “I haven’t been to (Mick’s) dressing room in 20 years. Sometimes I think, ‘I miss my friend. Where did he go?’”
