A reasonable number of wins. I'm a bit disappointed by the individual awards but very pleased by the cast award.

I agree it would've been nice for Benedict and Martin to get individual attention but, otoh, I think it's great that the entire cast was recognized for the quality of the show.  The other actors haven't gotten the same recognition--Andrew Scott excepted--so it's nice to see regular cast members Rupert Graves and Una Stubbs, Loo Brealey, Mark Gatiss, and the others win here.

A NEW award giver?   Love them!!   you never know what you'll get.   But why is Sherlock  in the mini-series category?  to me it's a series.   Great wins,  by the way!!

I think we should start a trend for spelling mini-series properly, like this. Miniseries gets me every time because it just looks like someone has misspelled ministries to me! I am also very chuffed that the wonderful Mr. Laurie has won an award.
