Martin FreemanIt was a mixed bag for PBS last night at the BAFTA TV Awards in London as ‘Sherlock’ took home two trophies, but ‘Downton Abbey’ left empty-handed.

‘Sherlock’ won the coveted Best Drama Series Award, and Martin Freeman (’The Hobbit’) won Best Supporting Actor for his role as Doctor Watson in the modern take on the ‘Sherlock Holmes’ mysteries.

However, Freeman’s co-star Benedict Cumberbatch lost out in the Best Actor category to Daniel Rigby (’Flyboys’) for his role as legendary British comedian Eric Morecambe in ‘Eric & Ernie.’ Rigby also beat out fan favorite, ‘Doctor Who’ star Matt Smith.

‘Downton Abbey’ was nominated for three major awards — Best Drama Series, Best Supporting Actor and The Audience Award — but failed to win any of them.
