BBC drama Sherlock stole the honours at the Crime Thriller Awards in London last night. Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman took home gongs for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor and the drama itself was awarded the coveted "TV Dagger" for top show.
A slightly embarrassed Cumberbatch made a third visit to the stage after Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy was named Best Film. The only disappointment for Sherlock was Una Stubbs (Mrs Hudson) failing to win Best Supporting Actress, an award which went to Kelly Macdonald for her work as Margaret Schroeder on Boardwalk Empire.
Cumberbatch acknowledged the genius of authors Arthur Conan Doyle and John le Carré, but paid special tribute to Freeman: "He raises my game," he told the audience at the Grosvenor House Hotel. Whereas Freeman responded: "to do a show we love and to get prizes for it is an embarrasment of riches."
