The stars were out in force for the BAFTA Television Awards last night, described by host Graham Norton as "sort of like the Oscars, but with less surgery". Recognisable faces poured out of the cars arriving at the London Palladium, from young whippersnappers like the Skins cast, to living legends Dame Judi Dench and Bruce Forsyth. It wasn't all Brits though, those Heroes, Milo Ventimiglia and Adrian Pasdar, showed up to present an award and rather gorgeous they both looked too. Yum! There were a lot of simple and safe dark colours on the red carpet, occasionally broken up by some lovely bright shades, like Tess Daly's hot pink number, Joanna Lumley's draping orange dress and Alesha Dixon's multicoloured masterpiece.
