'Mr Bates vs The Post Office' and 'Happy Valley' will do battle at the upcoming TRIC Awards.

The ITV show will go up against a hat-trick of BBC series, 'Happy Valley', 'Death in Paradise' and 'Kin', in the Drama category at the upcoming TRIC (The Television and Radio Industries Club) Awards.

'Mr Bates vs The Post Office', which starred the likes of Toby Jones and Monica Dolan, followed the Post Office scandal which saw hundreds of sub-postmasters wrongly convicted due to the faulty IT system Horizon.

As well as the drama being up for an award, 'Mr Bates vs The Post Office - The Real Story' is also on the shortlist for the Factual prize, alongside 'Martin Lewis Money Show Live', 'Planet Earth III' and 'The Repair Shop'.

What's more, Ant and Dec have a nod in the TV Personality category, but will face stiff competition from the likes of Bradley Walsh, Martin Lewis, and Piers Morgan.

Former 'Good Morning Britain' co-host Piers' grilling of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on his 'Piers Morgan Uncensored' show is also up for an accolade in the Interview of the Year category.

Others in contention are Alastair Stewart revealing his heartbreaking diagnosis to Camilla Tominey, Louis Theroux interviewing Dame Joan Collins, and Ken Bruce's chat with Noel Gallagher.

What's more, BBC series 'Race Across The World' will be hoping to win the quest for the Entertainment prize, ahead of 'Gogglebox', 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!', and 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

And 'The Traitors' - which returned for a second series earlier this year - is up for the Game Show gong.

But the thrilling Claudia Winkleman-fronted programme will have to outdo '1 Per Cent Club', 'The Chase', and 'Dragons' Den'.

The TRIC Awards ceremony - which is in its 55th year - will take place in London on June 25th, hosted by Roman Kemp.
