Twenty Twelve's Hugh Bonneville, Jessica Hynes and Olivia Colman nominated for prizes, with shows vying for best sitcom
Twenty Twelve has trumped The Thick of It at the shortlisting stage of this year's British Comedy awards, with individual nods for three of its leading actors.
The two programmes will compete for best sitcom against Sky1's Hunderby and the BBC's Rev, but the cast of John Morton's mockumentary about the buildup to the London 2012 Olympics fare better than The Thick of It's actors. Hugh Bonneville, Jessica Hynes and Olivia Colman are all nominated for their performances in Twenty Twelve – with Colman becoming the first person to receive two nominations in a single category after being shortlisted for the BBC's Rev as well.
Meanwhile, Peter Capaldi and Rebecca Front are up for best TV comedy actor and actress respectively for The Thick of It.
